Run The Windsor Womens 10K for Our Headline Charity

Wellbeing Of Women

We are Wellbeing of Women
Heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage and the menopause affect millions of women, but many still aren’t getting the care or support they need.

Despite conditions like these having a devastating impact on lives, women’s health remains a chronically underfunded and neglected area of healthcare.

That’s where we come in.
Since 1964, we’ve invested more than £68 million in vital research across all areas of women’s reproductive and gynaecological health. We’re developing new breakthroughs to save and change the lives of women, girls and babies.
Many of the tests, treatments and cures we take for granted today started with research that we funded.

This includes:
• the use of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy
• the importance of pregnant women taking folic acid
• helping to establish the link between HPV and cervical cancer which resulted in the first preventative school-wide vaccination programme
• developing the first potential non-hormonal and non-surgical treatment for endometriosis
• demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women and their babies.
We are delighted you are considering fundraising for us for the upcoming women’s 10K. Last year our supporters raised over £95,000 in races across the UK and this year we hope to raise even more with your help!

We have 17 new research projects that the money you raise could help to fund. You can make a difference to women who may be struggling with infertility, coping with heavy periods, experiencing the heartbreak of miscarriage or feeling devastated by a cancer diagnosis. You can read more about our research here.
Here’s why previous runners have chosen to fundraise for us:

“We chose Wellbeing of Women because it was a charity close to our heart, having family history of women’s health issues and personally suffering from them. After reading about all the research, we knew we had a winner, we are so happy to have raised money for such an amazing charity!”- Sule, Tough Mudder finisher
“The more research I did about women’s health, the more I realised how underfunded it is. But Wellbeing of Women fund scientific research to get to the root cause of the problem. As well, the whole team is so passionate about the work they do and I really love that” – Miriam Payne, Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge finisher

Join us in taking on a rewarding 10K challenge running for women everywhere. See you at the start line!
