Vice president of the European Parliament to run London Marathon to raise funds for WERF

05 FEBRUARY 2009

Diana Wallis MEP will be running the London Marathon on 26 April 2009 to raise funds for WERF.

An endometriosis sufferer herself, Diana wants to raise awareness of the impact of endometriosis so that the disease can become a research priority in women's health.

She is running for women with endometriosis all over the world so that more research into better treatments for endometriosis can be funded.

 


Asked why she chose WERF as her charity, Diana's response is clear:

"We can only make progress by the serious co-ordination of international research! The situation today is much better than the time when I was finally diagnosed in 1990 but it is unacceptable that so many women's lives should be blighted and their fertility impaired by a complaint we surely could deal with if the will and the funds were there!

This is why I believe that the contribution that WERF can make is so essential.

Many national organisations do a tremendous job advising victims and raising awareness but we  must indentify cures (and also the cause) - this is where WERF plays a vital role!".

Diana hopes to raise at least £20,000.00 for research.
