Worldwide EndoMarch’s Team Uganda with Dr. Denis Sszenzki are honouring the work of our leader and founder, Brandi CK La Perle by naming the new midwifery teaching hospital for endometriosis care for her. In May 2017, Brandi CK will travel with a delegation of Team Alberta’s provincial leadership, endometriosis patients, and family to attend the official groundbreaking ceremony.

Derek’s Luxx RTW has dressed First Lady Sophie-Gregoire Trudeau, Kim Kardashian, and Brandi CK when she performed comedy at the Western Canadian Fashion Top Model Awards in 2015.

I met Brandi CK La Perle after being connected by a friend of her’s online a couple years ago. When I fist moved provinces, I saw a community article about her struggles with Endometriosis, which I kept posted on my fridge for years. See, having endometriosis is a very alienating experience. Since joining facebook forums online my life has been gradually turning around. People like Brandi CK La Perle are giving us hope, and making us feel less alone by connecting us with group gatherings like the Worldwide Endo March and several other functions she coordinates. She is so deserving of this honor. The kindest person you’ll ever meet. Full of compassion and so dedicated and determined to evoke change for the better care of all of us endometriosis warriors.
