Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year I am running the London 2022 Marathon to raise as much money for the eating disorder charity, Beat.
Around 1.25 million people in the UK suffer from eating disorder illnesses, many in secret. They are of all ages, genders and backgrounds – eating disorders do not discriminate. Eating disorders include bulimia, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), and anorexia, which tragically has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, though all eating disorders can be deadly. While this is the worst-case scenario, there are many ways in which eating disorders severely affect the quality of life of both those suffering and those who care about them. They steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. But, with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.
Your kind support will help Beat provide helplines and online support services to families affected by eating disorders. Any donations made ( big or small ) will help keep these amazing services running 365 days a year and ensure that no one has to suffer alone!
Please, Please, Please donate what ever you can and help me smash my target of £2,500 for this incredible charity !!!!!!!!!!!
