2. What is the Endo Challenge? The Endo Challenge is a social media movement where the “sisters” of the endo community turn their social media profile pictures yellow and encourage their friends outside of the community to do the same, in an effort to bring awareness to endometriosis and how it affects its sufferers.

3. Why do we need the Endo Challenge? The average diagnosis for endometriosis takes roughly 10 years, during which time many woman are either wrongly diagnosed or told the pain is psychological. Thanks to the help of many online support groups, these woman are banding together to bring endometriosis to the forefront of women’s health.

5. We had almost 8,000 social media photos turn yellow in 2015; including Padma Lakshmi, Dr. Michele Noonan Ross, Juneau Biosciences, EFA, Center for Endometriosis Care, Vital Health Institute, Stephanie St. James, Becca Kotte, and more!

6. We reached 30,000+ people in 100+ countries around the world with our website, including many woman in countries where women’s health is practically non-existent.

7. We are in the process of securing more public figures and partnerships with organizations that promote women’s health. We are very excited about 2016 and hope you will join us! Together we can make endometriosis a household word.
