When I was 16 years old I raised £3000 to go on a month long World Challenge expedition to Kenya. The trip was to include voluntary work, a safari, cultural experience, and centrally a climb of Mount Kenya.

 

I never went.

 

In July 2008, when I would have gone on the expedition, I was in hospital: I was critically underweight, severely malnourished, and fighting for my life. I had anorexia nervosa.

 

Four years on, after a gruelling battle against the illness, and I have made a wonderful and precious recovery. In September 2012 I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the neighbouring country to Kenya, to raise money for B-EAT, the charity for Eating Disorders. It is will also be my way of truly conquering the disease. Eating disorders are cruel, life-threatening and widely misunderstood.

Please sponsor me. You could save lives.
