Anorexia has the highest morality rate of any psychiatric disorder - from medical complications associated with the illness, as well as suicide. 

It is estimated 1.25 million people in the UK face this daily struggle. Not enough is done within society to support those 1.25 million individuals. Of that number, 50% will recover, 30% will improve while 20% remain chronically unwell.

I was lucky enough not to be a forgotten figure amongst that 1.25 million. Hospitalisation at 15 is scary but the idea of being overlooked is even scarier. The stigma attached with eating disorders is outdated and needs addressing. 

Beat is the leading eating disorder charity in the UK; paving a way for change. 

Beat raises money in order to support sufferers as well as their families, but most importantly raise awareness. However, they

 cannot continue to prevent deaths and suffering without support. Through taking part in this skydive I am hoping to not only raise funds but to more importantly raise awareness.
