🏃‍♀️ Run for Her 2026 Raises Crucial Endometriosis Awareness in Colombo

The Endometriosis Support and Awareness Foundation Sri Lanka (ESAF) successfully hosted the 'Run for Her 2026' event at Independence Square, Colombo, on 24th May 2026, mobilizing community action around critical women’s health and reproductive wellbeing issues. • Participation & Events: The initiative brought together over 600 total participants, featuring a 5KM awareness run (over 400 runners) flagged off by Dr. Asha de Vos, and a 2KM walk (over 200 walkers) flagged off by Professor Hemantha Senanayake. • Economic & Corporate Backing: The non-profit advocacy event secured key corporate sponsorships and partnerships, including Nestomalt, Muve, and Dijital Team. Ninewells Hospital served as the medical partner, Ticket Ministry as the ticketing partner, and Anthem as the digital media partner. • Socio-Economic Impact: Founded by lawyer Rashani Meegama, ESAF utilizes these platforms to combat the workplace and social productivity losses associated with endometriosis—a chronic condition causing severe pain and infertility that remains heavily underdiagnosed. Following the event's strong public turnout, ESAF aims to expand its free national educational and advocacy campaigns to foster early diagnosis and support networks across Sri Lanka.
