The closer this event gets, the more excited I get! They announced recently that Sheryl Crow will be performing, which is just amazing. Hopefully having a big name celebrity will draw in more press and lead to more awareness. I've already seen a few articles online talking about her involvement in the event and some info on endo, so yay! Plus a free concert! There's also an actress with endo lined up to be there, so there's some more press. Pretty sweet.
I'm looking forward to being around my endo sisters. I get so nervous in big crowds and I'm not sure I'll actually engage with a lot of people, but I am happily anticipating being around people who get it. People who have been through what I have and know the kind of regular pain I've experienced. Families who have supported their daughters/sisters/wives/mothers with the disease.
I'm excited to hear everyone's stories. I want to hear what the leading professionals in the field have to say. I hope someone from the doctors office I want to go to for excision surgery will be there speaking. I'm excited to see footage of the other marches from across the globe. I'm thankful I have the opportunity to participate in something so big and important.
I won't lie... I'm also pretty stoked for the time off and away. I'm taking a week of vacation from work, and it's much needed. Gonna relax for a few days before the trip and am gonna visit a friend on the way back. Thinking of hitting up an awesome sushi restaurant and a museum or two while I'm in DC also. It should be full of all around goodness.
