DoItForCharity 5K Run - Manchester 2008 · 8 June 2008 ·

Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity. Our mission is to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. These serious mental illnesses ruin and, too often, take lives. Our Helpline is available online or by phone for anyone suffering, as well as their family and friends.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: beat will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Why sponsor me?

Running 5k will be a huge challenge for me - I hate running so I never normally do it  - I run like a jelly fish, I can barely breathe, and my calves throb from 10 years of continuous stiletto wearng. 

Why beat?

beat is the leading UK charity for people with eating disorders and their families.  Eating disorders are a serious mental illness affecting 1.1 million people in the UK. beat provides helplines for adults and young people, online support and a UK-wide network of self-help groups to help people beat their eating disorder.

  • £5 means beat can deal with a post on the message board
  • £10 lets beat respond to a Self Help Group enquiry
  • £25 allows beat to answer 5 questions in the Youth Chat Room
  • £50 ensures that a beat helpline worker can provide support to a caller affected by an eating disorder.
  • £100 allows a beat ambassador to talk about and raise awareness of eating disorders in the national media.

beat's vision is simple: Eating Disorders will be Beaten.
