FIUGA Virtual Walk/Run for Pelvic Floor Disorders

Take a walk in her shoes. Imagine you live in such a rural area that your trip to the doctor is a multi-day journey on foot. Now image making that journey while experiencing prolapse, or incontinence, or an unrepaired third or fourth degree tear. That is the reality for many women around the world. 

Join us for our 2nd Virtual FIUGA Fun Walk/Run for Pelvic Floor Disorders to raise awareness of pelvic floor disorders and funds to train urogynecology specialists in regions with high incidence of pelvic floor disorders but no established urogynecology subspecialty. This virtual event will be held June 21-27, 2021, coinciding with World Continence Week. It’s easy to participate!
