Robert Irwin Gives Emotional Speech About Sister Bindi In Honor Of Women’s Health Month

Robert Irwin places his hands on his chest as he speaks at a podium which reads "Blossom Ball."

The Irwin family is known for the love and attention they bring to wildlife conservation, but at a recent fundraiser, Robert and Bindi Irwin utilized their platforms for women’s health. Last year, Bindi was diagnosed with endometriosis — but reaching this point took years. Unfortunately, this experience is common. That’s why Bindi is determined advocate for others who are both diagnosed and undiagnosed with endometriosis.

The Blossom Ball, a fundraiser put on by the Endometriosis Foundation of America, was the perfect place to do just that. Here, Bindi received an award for all of the good she has done so far for their cause. In turn, Robert was invited to say some kind words about his incredible sister. You can watch his heartfelt speech in the video below.
