Hello ladies. I hope you are all doing okay this evening. I'm on a bit of a mission, and I'm hoping some of you can help me.
Endometriosis needs to me talked about in the media. Newsbeat covered it last week (poorly, and I'm sure many of you'll agree that we need it be discussed more, and in more depth) but I want This Morning to cover it.
I've found one of the producers on Twitter (from what I can see, she frequently uses Twitter to 'find' stories) and I could do with some support to get her attention.
It came to my attention earlier today that Kate Ford (actress from Coronation Street) suffers/suffered with endo and this will hopefully get This Mornings attention. I'd love to say they'd cover our illness without a celeb angle, but we all know how these things work.
If you have Twitter please tweet @hathamiltonitv and ask her to cover endometriosis on This Morning. Loop me in (@gemmadiaper) if you'd like
Hopefully a segment on This Morning will spark wider interest from the national broadcasters and the likes of Channel 4 or BBC2 will be tempted - we've seen numerous documentaries about other illnesses, I want endo to be next.
