Wear Yellow SG EndoMarch 2026 - Recap & Review
- Apr 1

Updated: Apr 23
I have been sitting with this quietly for the past few days, trying to find the right words. What happened last Saturday was not just an event. It was something you feel, something that stays with you even after everything has ended.
We had 85 attendees. Almost a full house. And if I am being honest, I did not expect that.
When we first started Wear Yellow SG EndoMarch in 2023, we had less than 40 people. It was small and intimate, and we were simply trying to create a space that did not exist before. But even before that, back in 2015, when I first attempted to organise a physical EndoMarch event, there were only 3 registrants… and we had to cancel it.
So standing in that auditorium last Saturday, seeing it almost filled, I found myself pausing. Not because of the numbers, but because of what it represents.
What makes this even more meaningful is knowing that this year was done with minimal marketing. There were no large campaigns or extensive outreach, especially after we faced a last-minute sponsorship withdrawal. It was uncertain, and it was not easy. And yet, we still pulled through. Somehow, we even saw more attendees than our 2024 event, where we had podcasts, radio airtime, and even Mr Fandi Ahmad helping to share about it.
When I sit with all of this and reflect on it, the only way I can make sense of what happened is this. When hearts come together, something truly meaningful can be created, despite medical challenges. That day was never about attendance. It was about people choosing to show up, to listen, to understand, and to no longer walk this journey alone.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge the people who made this possible.
To our speakers who showed up so generously with their knowledge and their truth, Dr Annabelle and Ms. Mira Yoon from Annabelle Psychology, Dr Ma Li, Dr Peter Barton-Smith who flew in from London just to be with us and flew back the very next morning, Dr Gurpreet Kaur, Sister Dee Ross, and Mr. Marius.
To our sponsors and allies who stepped forward in different ways, through funding, support, gifts, and belief, MoneyMakcik & Associates, Blissflowness Hideout, DCH Auriga, Bayer, and everyone who contributed quietly behind the scenes. Sabrina, thank you for the connections and for showing up in ways that truly mattered.
To our Guest of Honour, MP Dr Wan Rizal, thank you for your honesty. When you shared about your wife’s experience with painful periods and how it led her into dark moments, many of us felt that deeply, because we have lived it too. In that moment, it reminded us why male allyship matters and why being seen and understood matters.
To Seven17 Films, thank you for capturing the event so beautifully. This one-minute highlight holds so much more than what words can express.
They’ve also captured some beautiful moments from the day. You can view the official event photos here:
And to my brothers and sisters in arms, my volunteers… you carried this. Quietly and wholeheartedly. I do not say this enough, but you are the backbone of what we do. This was never something I built alone. This was carried by all of you.
We are still about $4,000 short in bridging the costs of this event. If you believe in what we are building and would like to support this space, you may do so here: https://give.asia/campaign/help-e-for-endometriosis
Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us continue this work and keep this space open for those who need it 💛
