Hi my name is Gracie, in May I’m taking on the challenge of swimming 9km to raise money for Endometriosis UK.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as two people very important to me live with endometriosis. Seeing first-hand the impact it has on their daily lives — from chronic pain to the emotional toll — has made me want to do something to support them and others going through the same thing.

Endometriosis is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women, yet it is still widely misunderstood and can take years to diagnose. By raising money, I hope to help fund vital support services, raise awareness, and contribute towards better understanding and treatment.

Swimming 9km is a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to what those living with endometriosis face every day.

If you’re able to donate or share, I’d be so grateful — every contribution makes a difference
