12 for 12 Challenge
For 12 years, the Fibroid Foundation has been breaking the silence around uterine fibroids, the most common reproductive condition affecting women, yet one of the least funded and least understood.Fibroids impact entire communities. They lead to excruciating pain, lost work, missed milestones, and in far too many cases, life-changing surgeries. In fact, fibroids are the leading cause of hysterectomy in the U.S., with hundreds of thousands performed every year. Too often, women are not offered less invasive options first.That’s why the Fibroid Foundation exists: to amplify voices, build community, educate, and push for equity in research and treatment.How You Can Join the MovementIn honor of our 12th anniversary, we’re asking you to take part in a simple but powerful campaign:Donate $12 today to celebrate 12 years of impact.Invite 12 friends, family, or colleagues to join you by giving $12 each.That’s it. Why Now?Because women can’t afford to wait any longer. Fibroids affect up to 26 million women in the U.S. alone, yet research funding remains shockingly low at less than 1% of NIH’s annual budget. Too many are told to “just deal with it” instead of being offered compassionate, effective care.Your gift ensures that:Women find community and don’t suffer in silence.Physicians and researchers have resources to improve treatment.Lawmakers hear the urgency and pass legislation that finally prioritizes fibroid care.
