About a year ago one of my best friends began to suffer from an eating disorder. At the time, all I knew about ED was something I saw on Skins (ie. not very much). 

I rushed to beat's website and printed off all the help leaflets, even the ones for children because I felt so ignorant and useless.

One thing that struck me was that it is not just a case of diagnosis, treatment and then cure. Recovery is a place you have to work to get to, and then work hard to stay there.

Beat helped Gemma, so I'm going to help beat help other people too. I'm really proud of what Gemma has done in the last year so I'm going to run my bum off. Please send me money for it =)

Here's a link to Gemma's blog.
