Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The Daisy Network was founded in 1995 and became a registered charity in 1999. They are a support charity for women/teenagers diagnosed with Premature Menopause (PM)/Premature Ovarian Failure (POF). There are quite a few symptoms, but just to name a few:
(1)Irregular periods
(2)Infertility
(3)Fatigue/Low energy levels
(To see other symptoms, and get more info, you can click on this link: http://www.daisynetwork.org.uk/signs-and-symptoms.htm)
The Daisy Network are the only nationwide support group for women who suffer from PM/POF and run on the funds generated by their membership services/fundraisers and volunteers.
THE REASON WE ARE WALKING FOR THIS CHARITY:
I was about 18 or 19 years old when it was confirmed that I have PM. It is an extremely emotional time. It is a difficult diagnosis to come to terms with. Uncertainty about your future, the depression, the mood swings and the lack of self-esteem doesn't just dissappear overnight. Every day (for a long time) is a process that the individual really has to work through. For some women, The Daisy Network may be their only source of strength. With the help of some wonderful women, I simply want to offer what I can, show support in whatever way and hopefully make a difference.
