MRKH Connect is a charity with a mission to connect those with MRKH all over the world. No one should feel alone, we are 1 in 5000 #mrkhempowerment ❤️
We love seeing MRKH media continue to raise awaren We love seeing MRKH media continue to raise awareness for our community and cause! ✨🙌 A message from Ally Hensley ______________ What was I doing at 7am this morning? ✨ Running to the nearest newsstand to pick up my copy of @graziauk magazine. 🔥 Total pinch-me-moment, as I read the headline: ‘Grace giving birth is huge for women like me: The first woman to have a baby after a womb transplant is eroding stigma,’ says Ally Hensley ❤️ ‘I hope it will give them options, but also remove some of the stigma associated with MRKH,’ she says. ‘Most people with the condition live with a huge sense of shame and this has allowed a lot of people in my MRKH world to feel proud.’ In this latest issue, charting number 4 of Grazia’s top 10 stories, I share my experience living with MRKH, the global reaction to the recent UK Uterus Transplant announcement, the burden of infertility grief, and how to tackle shame and stigma head-on! Thank you so much to journalist @polly_dunbar for your incredible words; so accurate, so heartfelt. You’ve done the MRKH community and me, oh so proud. Of course, a massive virtual hug to @collette.walsh.official for your rapid speed PR skills, and diving into this campaign with such support. @daliaismail1 you’re the ultimate connector, thank YOU! 🙏 Peeps, please grab your copy! It would mean the world to me and all those living with #mrkh #mrkh #infertility #memoir #writer #uterustransplant #ivf #surrogacy #infertilitygrief #mrkhwarrior #ferility #obgyn

MRKH is heavy. Infertility is heavy. For all th MRKH is heavy. Infertility is heavy. For all the joy and clarity we find on our path there can also be equal amounts of grief and confusion. A combination of ingredients that don't always seem to make sense but impact every way that we feel. Maybe tomorrow it will feel different. Maybe it doesn't but know that regardless, and despite this being your journey, you aren't meant to do it alone. 💜 #mrkh #warrior #mrkhwarrior #mrkhempowerment #mrkheducation #infertility #peersupport #support #community #mentalhealth #journey #courage #strength #raisingawareness
Wow. ✨ How magnificent was yesterday. Thank y Wow. ✨ How magnificent was yesterday. Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement from our amazing community. 🩷 In true spirit of MRKH Connect, we are hitting the ground running today, and would love to stir up some excitement with our upcoming fundraising event! MRKH Connect 5000-in-50 is an annual international initiative to raise awareness for MRKH and we invite you to join us as we start again on May 30th 2025. This year’s challenge is to contribute to the collective fundraising goal of £5000 in 50 days, in pursuit of raising awareness for MRKH. 🙌 When does the challenge begin? 30th May 🙌 How will it work? You set your challenge and fundraising target and we help you promote and share your activity along the way. 🙌 Do I have to be open about MRKH to join the challenge? Not at all, just because we want to raise awareness doesn’t mean that you have to do anything you aren’t comfortable with. Advocacy doesn’t have to be public to be powerful! 🙌 How much is it to sign up? The registration fee is £15 and every registration gets you a free MRKH Connect gift plus a fundraising pack to help you along the way. 🙌 Are there any geographic restrictions? No, this is designed to be an event open for all and as the event is primarily virtual there is no geographic restriction. However the last day of the challenge is Connect LIVE 2025 in London and we hope many of you will join us in person (or online) for this fantastic peer support event focused on information, connection and most of all fun. 🙌 Who can register? Registration is open to all whether you have MRKH or not. We know how important our friends, family etc are in our journey and everyone has a part to play in this virtual challenge to collectively work together to improve awareness.
