Lemonade events owner Rachel Geier creates fundraiser giveaway for endometriosis awareness after diagnosis

Geraldton businesswomen have joined forces to raise money for endometriosis, with seven businesses offering a giveaway to those who donate to the cause. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and small businesses founded by women have teamed up to raise money for the uterine disease, with a giveaway worth $2000 that will go to two randomly selected donators. Lemonade Events, Alt+State Pilates, Glow Geraldton, Sikoya Design, Tarts & Co, Piper Lane and Roma Gifts have all contributed to the fundraiser, with proceeds going to national accredited charity Endometriosis Australia. Lemonade Events founder Rachel Geier said she was determined to raise awareness of endometriosis after being diagnosed and discovering the extent of people suffering the same condition as her. “What has become interesting to me as I have started to open up about my story in the last couple of years is the sheer amount of people who have experienced similar symptoms with or without a diagnosis, not to mention the amount of devastating doctors appointments and hospital visits where no relief is given,” she said. “Hence the decision to join the fundraising train for Endometriosis Awareness Month this March to help spread awareness and fund research for the disease.” To donate to the cause, visit GoFundMe and search Endo Australia Fundraiser.
