26-year-old Miss X was diagnosed with an extreme case of endometriosis — 10cm cysts on both ovaries, and extensive growths throughout her pelvis and large bowel.

From the LottoStar Fortune Frenzy funds raised for Good Morning Angels, LottoStar will donate the R100,000 needed to enable the medical team to assist Miss X as a matter of urgency.

Dr. Abri de Bruin will also be doing the surgery for free, while others have also offered their expertise during the process. De Bruin also shared more about endometriosis, debunking old beliefs and motivating women to get help when they need it.
