GUEST SPEAKERS:

Prue Luck: Hi my name is Prue and I’m a pharmacist, farmer’s wife, mummy, Central Qld Qendo Representative and gardening enthusiast!!

I was diagnosed with endometriosis over a decade ago now at young age of 18. Navigating its challenges, over the years I was additionally diagnosed with adenomyosis and then entered the world of infertility and IVF. This was by far my hardest health hurdle but thankfully the fight and persistence paid off and 4 years later welcomed my little girl.

Being a health professional and personal victim of endo and the like, I’m incredibly passionate about spreading awareness to help others and Qendo gives me the perfect platform to do so. I started volunteering for Qendo when I first moved to CQ in 2018 and have been hosting meet ups and presentations with the area ever since.

More speakers to be announced!
