Endometriosis Awareness Month takes place across the world during the month of March with a mission to raise awareness of a disease that affects an estimated 176 million women worldwide. Alongside this, Endometriosis Australia runs the March into Yellow challenge on Friday, March 5, to assist in increasing the profile and awareness of endometriosis – a disease that affects one in 10 Australian women.

Get involved by taking the challenge to wear yellow to show your support and care for the women who live with this insidious disease every month of the year by embracing your yellow clothing and fashion accessories for a day, a week or the whole month. Perhaps you could even get your workplace or community involved and host a yellow mufti day. Sign up, adorn yourself in yellow, post on your blog, raise funds and spread the word so your community can cheer you on and support the cause. This yellow challenge assists in raising money to assist Endometriosis Australia to develop and run education and awareness programs, and of course much needed funds for research.

March into Yellow is a fun way to open up a conversation about the disease and an easy way to show your support. Find out more at www.marchintoyellow.org.au
