Sarah Esche
Sarah was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2015. This past October she had excision surgery for endometriosis, and as a result of finally receiving the Gold Standard of treatment, she is feeling well enough to train for and run the 2017 Marathon for Endofound! This will be her first New York Marathon, and she has successfully completed the Chicago Marathon twice! She is running on Team Endofound not only for herself but for all women. Women with endometriosis should not be silent sufferers because of the need for more education, awareness, and updated insurance coverages of care. Her training partner and fiance is also part of Team Endofound!

Erik Lange
Erik running this Marathon for his fiance Sarah Esche, and for all women out there that are unable to as a result of endometriosis. Erik has run six Chicago Marathons, and this will be his first New York Marathon. He is really excited to be a part of team Endofound!

Anne Carson
This will be Anne’s fourth time running the New York Marathon, but the first time doing so for Endofound! After her diagnosis running became something Anne does for so many reasons. Running has lessened the pain of her endometriosis significantly. It has given her power in a powerless situation. It inspires her, teaches her patience/humbleness, and has frankly saved her life. Anne’s experience has taught her to love her body, despite its flaws and struggles and has bestowed upon her a deeper gratefulness and love for those around her.
