When pelvic organ prolapse (POP) changed Sally Maconochie's life, she went looking for answers and found Hudson Institute's research.
Faced with a condition that's rarely spoken about, despite affecting up to 40 percent of all women, Sally decided things had to change, so she volunteered to be our POP advocate - sharing her story and her suffering to help avoid others going through the same thing.
She connected with Professor Caroline Gargett, a world leader in POP research, and the team working on new stem cell-based prevention and treatment options, including Dr Shayanti Mukherjee and Dr Kallyanashis Paul.
Sally's POP story is equal parts devastating an inspiring. She hopes, as we do, that it will start conversations and get people talking about this condition that she had never heard of until she felt its profound effects.
Watch Sally's POP story in the video above.
