Marina’s ENDO Journey:

From the age of 16 to the age of 40, when she was diagnosed with stage IV Endometriosis, Marina has experienced a long and agonising journey with endometriosis. She is committed to the disease’s research and is very compassionate for those suffering from the disease. After undergoing several treatments and multiple surgeries, she was forced to make the difficult decision to undergo a hysterectomy and a bowel resection. Unfortunately, endometriosis prevented her from conceiving her own children since it spread to her main organs. Marina hopes that she will be able to inspire and educate the next generation, as well as raise awareness and promote research for a brighter future.
