I am running the Alloa Half Marathon on the 16th of March to raise awareness for the Period Warriors at Lornshill Academy and gain as many donations as possible - please :)
My friends and I are the founders of the Period Warriors where we are trying to break the stigma of periods. We believe in promoting positivity around the menstrual cycle and creating a safe space for girls to communicate about their cycle in school.
At Lornshill, we give out free period packages and underwear to our students to help them feel more comfortable being on their period in school. Currently, this is the only way we can support the girls so we are looking to expand. We hope to deliver interactive workshops, provide eco-friendly products such as menstrual cups and period pants, and other items to create a supportive environment around periods.
We are currently struggling with funding for our products and we are running low on what we can provide the girls. Any donations we receive will go towards building a positive community within our school to make teenage girls feel empowered in their body.
Have a look at what we have already achieved on our X page @periodwarriors
