The June End Endo 5K is this weekend! From Texas to Québec, we have over 300 Team EndoFound members coming together to end endo across the map. These folks have raised an unprecedented amount of funds for the future of endometriosis care, and they’re still hard at work! You can donate to the team’s efforts here. Every dollar helps make breakthroughs happen.

Charlotte Woska, who spoke at the 2021 Global Patient Conference on the adolescents and familial endometriosis panel, has already raised over $2,000 for the June End Endo 5K. "After being dismissed by so many doctors,” Charlotte shares, “I know that helping to create awareness is essential for women everywhere. I'm so grateful to all of my supporters who heard my story and donated. Let’s continue pushing forward to end endo!"

Over on The Blossom, Alice Broster examines the link between the gender health gap and endometriosis care—particularly focusing on why endometriosis has been so under researched and misdiagnosed throughout the years. In the United States, for example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) didn’t require medical research to include women until 1993.

The latest EndoTV episode features Tanya Petrossian, Ph.D. and CEO of EndoCyclic Therapeutics, about how she has made it her life’s goal to find the root cause of endometriosis not only for herself, but for others that suffer from the disease. Missed the research profile on Dr. Petrossian and Dr. Katie Burns and their work on non-invasive endometriosis treatment? Read it today!

My Endo, created by Ellen Andries and Thomas Maddens, is a modern love story that intimately captures a young couple's struggle with the chronic illness endometriosis. We're honored the filmmakers are donating 50% of the ticket sales to benefit EndoFound. Stay tuned for the link to buy tickets when the film is released on June 5.

Get ready for summer in brand-new EndoFound gear! Wearing your awareness can not only make you feel empowered, but also spread the word about the disease. Raise awareness all summer long with our yellow WARRIOR awareness towel—perfect for the beach, pool, or picnic.
