Hi everyone! My name is Melina , and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation

1 in 3 women deal with chronic daily pain and 1 in 4 are prevented from doing everyday activities because of it. nearly triple the amount of women deal with autoimmune diseases than men. women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health or with disabilities than men despite living longer.

Despite these facts, there is an undeniably steep gap in health research and funding between men and women. because of the lack of research and public awareness on women’s health, women receive inappropriate, ineffective and harmful treatments that greatly impact their lives.

Magee Women’s Research Institute was founded in 1992 by a woman and the first organization that strictly funds women’s health research; including topics like cancer, fertility, pregnancy, diseases, HIV, and more.

I am raising money for this foundation as a women who deals with under researched feminine health issues and knows many women who do as well.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
