A Personal Address from Lady Ava For thirty five years, I have lived with pain that most would not tolerate for thirty five days. Extreme cramps. Heavy bleeding. Flooding that dictated movement and control. Fatigue that settled deep into bone. More time off university and then employment than I would've liked. And still, I showed up. Made adjustments. Got a first degree. Raised two boys - mostly on My own. Built three thriving businesses. Month after month. Year after year. S
