In Ireland, we combined our Endometriosis Information Day – Living Well With Endometriosis with the Worldwide EndoMarch Event. The information day was held in the Lucan Spa Hotel, Dublin. A survey of women in Ireland was also carried out as part of the event, their responses can be seen on www.marchforendometriosis.com women also submitted poems and some even held their own mini endomarches!
