Story
Well wow, just wow. What a journey it has been! I never thought that sharing my ED story would hve such a massive effect and would turn into something so positive. The people I've met, the events I've held & the opportunities that have come my way I will NEVER forget. The generosity of you guys have been truly mind blowing & I'm so grateful.
I want to inspire others that no matter what they’ve been through or not matter what stage they are in their life right now, if you work hard & dream big then doing the impossible, will start to become possible!
I've always been afraid of putting myself out there but holding events such as bake sales, quiz nights, fitness bootcamps, college fun days really helped me. With the help if you guys, i gained the confidence to make my events bigger - 15,000ft sky dive, Bungee Jump, Head Shave & of course who can forget the Edinburgh Marathon! Crazy!!
Going from that to then being invited onto local radios (BBC Radio & Bradley Stoke FM), invited to the Houses of Parliament & featuring on Good Morning Britain just doesn't ever happen to someone like me!!
In order to grow & develop, we need to be challenging ourselves & coming out of our comfort zones. We spend so much time putting ourselves down, believing that we aren't good enough & ultimately just settling with societies expectations to how we should live. Life is too short to be doing this and instead we need to believe in ourselves, embrace who we are & turn our dreams into reality.
Being in recovery is one of the most hardest, scariest places to be in but let me tell you.....It is so worth it and once you get out of that black hole, you will not only look back with no regrets but you will become a much stronger, wiser person for it :)
Like i said, none of this would of been possible without the support from you guys. This money will go to BEAT & make such a difference.
This page will close TOMORROW MIDNIGHT. Thank you so much & to those struggling right now, please don't give up. KEEP FIGHTING!
Dream Big. Be Positive. Never Give Up. Be you ;)
Peace out!! Sophie Mitchell xxx
