We’re thrilled that you’re keen to help us out! Endometriosis New Zealand relies on our generous community across New Zealand to continue to provide unique and professional services and programmes to improve health outcomes for those living with endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain. We don’t receive any government funding, so it’s people like you who make all this possible.
Ready to make a difference?
Whether you’re looking to take on an active challenge, host a high tea, organise a workplace fundraiser or come up with a creative fundraising idea, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Passionate about being active? Have a marathon on your bucket list?
Why not combine your training goals with a fundraising challenge and help raise awareness of endometriosis along the way? Whether you’re running, walking, cycling or taking on another personal challenge, your efforts can make a real difference.
Every dollar raised and every step taken helps us support people affected by endometriosis and work towards a future where endometriosis is better understood and diagnosed sooner.
Jenna has committed to running six marathons in three years across New Zealand. “This challenge is about more than the distance. It’s about using every race as a chance to start conversations, share stories, and raise awareness. Running marathons is my way of showing that what seems impossible can be achieved with persistence, resilience, and the right support just like the fight so many people face daily with endometriosis.”
“For me, this cause is deeply personal. My mum, sister, both of my nans, aunties, and I have all been impacted by endometriosis. I’ve grown up seeing the toll it takes, the pain, the exhaustion, the uncertainty and how often it is misunderstood or dismissed.”
Dayna is competing in the Sunshine Coast Ironman 70.3. This is her second ever triathlon which is 4 times the distance of her first one, and she is doing it to raise money for Endometriosis New Zealand, and spread awareness for this horrible disease.
“Earlier this year I was supposed to do the Taupo 70.3 Ironman however had to put it off due to having my first (and hopefully last) surgery for endometriosis.
I struggled to train due to experiencing excruciating pain at random timings. I used to think that the level of pain I experienced was “normal” so it was a relief when I was eventually told it was not.”
Lucas ran the Wellington Marathon on Sunday the 29th of June to raise funds and awareness for endometriosis.
“After seeing my fiancé’s experience with Endometriosis, and hearing about other friends’ experiences, this has made me aware about how impacting this condition can be and how it affects so many women.”
“Fueled by my own daughters experiences with endometriosis and a desire to make a difference, I am embarking on a mission to raise awareness and funds for endometriosis. My goal is to complete the 102km Ultramarathon on the 15th of February 2025 from Kawerau to Rotorua to symbolise not just my daughters but also the 1 in 10 kiwi girls who are impacted by this condition.”
