The Endometriosis Walk for Awareness is an event designed to raise awareness about Endometriosis, an incurable immunological and hormonal disease. The Endometriosis Walk for Awareness is hosted by the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Support Group of the Endometriosis Association.
Endometriosis transcends all racial, socioeconomic and geographic barriers.
The second goal of the walk is to call attention to the need for government and private funds to be directed towards Endometriosis research. Only through key projects and scientific collaborations will the cause of Endometriosis be isolated and the mechanisms for a cure be determined. Research holds the key to minimizing any further suffering of those who already have Endometriosis and to giving hope to those who one day will be diagnosed with the disease. Currently, there are more than 426 confirmed registrants for the Walk, representing 25 States and the Countries of Australia, Canada and Ireland. Members of the Endometriosis Association, The Endometriosis Research Center and online Endometriosis forums will be represented.
