Hiya! Eating Disorder Awareness Week falls on 2nd- 8th March this year, so I will be taking the opportunity to fundraise for Beat Eating Disorders! :)

I'm running a half marathon for the first time ever on 1st March!! Also, throughout Eating Disorder awareness week I will be selling baked goods and art commissions at a reduced price to raise extra money! 

Beat is an amazing charity that offers support services such as web chat, helplines and workshops for people with eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia but also EDNOS, binge eating and other less commonly known disorders) that may not be able to access support elsewhere, especially since access to mental health services is increasingly difficult these days, and the services themselves are overcrowded and underfunded. Beat also offers information and educational services for sufferers that may not understand what they're going through or even know that they have an eating disorder yet, and also for family and friends that want to help their loved ones. Eating disorders are awful, confusing, terrifying and lonely, and another struggle that comes with them is helping those closest to you figure out what you're going through and how to support you.

If you'd like to learn more about Beat, or about eating disorders in general, you can find their website here! http://beateatingdisorders.org.uk/

Commission details:

• If you donate £30 or more, I'll draw you a sketch portrait of a person or animal or food or something! My Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/jamiejomay if you'd like to see the sort of stuff I like to draw :)
• If you for some reason donate £60 or more then firstly oh my gosh thank you so much you are amazing and the nicest person ever??? And also I'll make you a big painting of something like you and your dog, or you and your mum, or you and your best friend (your best friend officially being me, because you donated £60 and i love you).
• If the portrait is of you/ a pet/ etc I'll need a reference photo to work from of your lovely mug ☕ The higher the quality the better :)
  
• I'm not so good at drawing backgrounds but if you want one I will try, just for you. Only for you.
• I will send you a high-quality PDF of the art digitally- sadly I will not be sending out any physical copies
• If you want a commission please gimme a message on insta or the likes before you donate the money so I can recommend what the best thing for me to make you is! Once we've decided I'll need around 2 months to complete it :D (I'm a busy girl, don't judge)
• All the money is, of course, going to Beat- I'm making no money from this

No pressure at all to donate but if you do, thank you so much! I really appreciate it and so do all the people you help with that donation :) Thanks so much for taking the time to read my essay! :D
