Yes, it definitely would. I was a founding board member of the organization that's currently the only registered charity for endometriosis in Canada, and that is Endometriosis Network Canada. It's a very grassroots organization focused on increasing awareness and providing patient education, government advocacy and support for people with endometriosis, but as a grassroots organization that's focused on a gendered disease, our funding is very low. If we were to grow bigger.... For example, obviously the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society are a completely different level of organization, but they're also able to fund research, run enormous programs and have a tremendous impact through their work. I think it is really important to support organizations like this in our work, for sure.
