<div>My name is Katie Rainsberger and as a former professional athlete, I’ve experienced firsthand the critical gaps in our understanding of women’s health and exercise. I am raising money for research on women’s health and exercise physiology. During my time as a professional athlete, I experienced firsthand the consequences of inadequate research—an undiagnosed condition ended my career. Now, as a researcher pursuing my PhD at the Technical University of Munich, I am committed to closing these knowledge gaps, particularly in menstrual health and female athletic performance.

<div>Despite growing awareness, research on exercising women remains vastly underfunded—less than 8% of research in this field is conducted on women. <strong>I am raising money to fund research exclusively on female athletes to optimize performance, nutrition, and menstrual cycle health.</strong>
