On Sunday May 4, 2014, The Endometriosis Foundation of Rhode Island will host Rhode Island’s first Endometriosis walk. The inaugural EndoWalkRI will raise funds and awareness about endometriosis, which affects more than 176 million women around the world.

The walk will take place rain or shine at Johnston Memorial Park at 11:00am. Registration is now open and there are different levels of participation. Walkers can visit Facebook.com/endofoundationofRI for all event details.

There will also be vendors in attendance to provide our EndoWalkers with information regarding infertility, therapy, and wellness.

The Endometriosis Foundation of RI (EFRI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Jennifer Zanni, who was diagnosed with Endometriosis in her early 30’s. She started the local chapter of the national organization to provide resources and support for this common, but very misunderstood, condition.
