Many thanks to my Uncle Denis for funding the MM website and my Dad  for helping out with my living expenses, Paul Mc and his mad web skillz, the many menstrual health and human rights activists who keep me motivated and provide support when needed; and last but not least, my lovely friends and family- without you, I definitely wouldn’t be able to keep going… THANKS!
