PRINT & SUPPORT! March is Endometriosis Awareness! In March every year around the world (May in Canada) there will be the World Wide Endo March! Did you just think "Endo What?" Endometriosis hits at least 10% of worldwide women, but being a commonly dismissed illness, it takes nearly a decade prior to diagnosis. Endometriosis is a systemic disease with numerous immune & endocrine malfunctions that sometimes result in misplaced tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, but not exactly the same, resulting in chronic pain and many other symptoms. It's also one of the leading causes of infertility, and there is no definitive cure up to date. Why is endometriosis awareness important? Because many women are surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues who don't understand how profound the physical and emotional effects of endometriosis can be. Because even after waiting an average of 7 to 9 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis, many women can't access effective treatment for endometriosis. Because there is very little research on endometriosis, compared to other diseases with similar impacts. This needs to be printed in YELLOW, as it is the color for Endometriosis Awareness. I permit commercial use of this model in order to allow raising money for ENDOMETRIOSIS research, support, and education in your country, but please don't speculate on this model. It is already a very expensive illness because it needs more education and research. You may print it smaller for a pendant, otherwise the current size is good for pins and keychains. You can highlight the text with a sharpie. Spread Awareness! Make a photo of your print and share it (here and) on your social networks with #endomarch #endoor #endometriosis. Tag me @morenap3d! If you're in Canada, you can also write your wish #awishnoted Tinkercad info You can personalize the ribbon with your own message in Tinkercad.
