Free Webinar: Fighting Back Against Endo

| Bloomin' Uterus
Event flyer for Lisa Howard webinar

Our friends with the Endometriosis Family Support Group have reached out and will be allowing me the great honor of speaking for their monthly Webinar this month!  So, on Wednesday, May 17, 2017, at 7pm PST, please feel free to join us!  It’s FREE!  Registration is required, though, so you receive log-in information.  Please email Megan at megan@RMCcharity.org to RSVP.

I’ll be speaking about how you, yes YOU, can fight back in little ways.  Since I’ve no medical or nutritional background, I’m not talking about the diet, exercise, pills, procedures, supplements, or surgeries – nah.  Not that.

I mean the small ways of fighting back.  Regaining a sense of control.  Giving back to the Endo community, participating in studies, fundraising for an organization, speaking to schools, embracing other EndoWarriors, etc.  We don’t have to have loads of money, be a part of a corporation, or work for a non-profit in order to make a difference.  We can just make a difference in our own communities, for our own lives, and for those around us. ❤

Again, if you’d like to come watch, register via email to Megan.  If you cannot attend that night, it is being recorded and will be shared later. 🙂

2017 Walk Recap!

On March 25, 2017, we had our Endometriosis Awareness Walk here in San Diego, California.  It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, and the ocean was glorious!  We walked the shores of Shelter Island.

All in all, we had 77 registered walkers (oh how we’ve grown in three years!), plus a few non-walkers there to show support to their loved ones.  We raised $1,857.42 for 2017 and it was all donated to the Endometriosis Foundation of America!  Of that $76.67 was from t-shirt sales, $115.75 was from the San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence fundraisers, $250 was from the Element Wellness Center fundraiser, and $1,415 was from Gofundme donations!  Also, one of our walkers, Allison, raised an additional $135 for the E.F.A. with her own gofundme fundraiser!  Thank you EVERYONE!

Recap: Endo Workshop in San Diego

Well, it came and it went!  February 23, 2017, was the day that Dr. Mara Killen of San Diego Womens Health and I presented an Endometriosis workshop at the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot for their Exceptional Family Member Program.  (You may remember that Dr. Killen presented on PCOS back in December.)

Our presentation and Q&A session lasted roughly two hours and Dr. Killen gave an excellent talk about Endometriosis, the theories of causation, symptoms, medical treatment options, etc.  I covered the alternative options such as diet, lifestyle change, Eastern medicine, mental health, and physical therapy.  The gals (and one husband) who showed up came with some incredible questions!

I cannot thank the EFMP and its staffmembers enough for granting us such an incredible opportunity to reach out to our community.  And, Dr. Killen, thank you for taking time away from your busy schedule and personal life to offer such valuable information.  I will be forever grateful.
