Story

In just over one week I’ll be running the Yorkshire Marathon to help raise awareness and break down the stigma surrounding eating disorders. 

This is my first EVER marathon and I can’t wait to take on the challenge! Eating disorders impact over 1 million people in the U.K. There is no single reason for their onset and they don’t have a specific ‘look’ despite the stereotype. Anyone can be affected including a large proportion of runners. 

I chose First Steps ED as it’s a local charity that supported some of my friends while at uni. The team are on hand to provide coping strategies and recovery services to individuals of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Their founding principles are built up from experts from experience, offering a service that helps those living with an eating disorder and their families, as well as break down the stigma around eating disorders.💙
