and are used solely for the development and maintenance of the ERC’s programs. The ERC is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, tax-deductible organization solely supported by fundraising initiatives and the donations of those who share the ERC's goal of supporting those with Endometriosis and of one day finding a cure. Get involved!

This year, the ERC is Cooking for the Cure! The organization is extremely excited to present their very own cookbook, "Down Home Cooking with Endo Sisters." This cookbook was made possible with recipe contributions from the ERC's Angel Network and contains fun and comforting recipes. Ordering will start soon and proceeds will benefit the ERC’s education and support programs. See http://www.endocenter.org for details.

In additional fundraising efforts, the ERC is also offering a brand new, limited design in their T-shirt collection! The new design, only $9.99 in celebration of the ERC's 9th year, is a custom shirt that will only be offered at this low price for a short time and then will be retired. Celebrate March in style! Buy one for yourself or support an Endofriend in need. See the ERC Angel Shop at http://www.cafepress.com/erc_endoangels.

Stop by http://www.cafepress.com/erc, the original ERC store. Did you know they've been offering Endometriosis awareness items for years? T-shirts, mugs, hats, mouse pads, bags, magnets, calendars, postcards, greeting cards, license plate frames, and so much more. They even offer the exclusive, one-of-a-kind ERC Angel postage stamp! Stop by today to choose an item or two from the Endo Awareness store.

I have been using a Menstrual Cup for years, and it is a blessing. People have mentioned that they fear a connection between menstrual cups and endometriosis, and I can only say that: Endometriosis was here before the cups. Women who have NEVER worn a cup have endometriosis. And perhaps, by using a cup you become more alert of the way your body works, and might aid people to realize there is something not right, thus looking for medical help, and realize they have endometriosis. My best friend had endometriosis in her arm. Every month, during her period, she would develop a painful hard spot in her underarm, which looked dark. She had it surgically removed. She also has more "normal" endometriosis. And she has never used a cup. I feel for all women who suffer like her and wish them the best. I hope a cure can be found soon. I also hope people realize that menstrual cups and endometriosis are not related at all.
