My partner and I are raising funds for a cause close to our heart, Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity. Beat offers invaluable support to those affected by eating disorders, providing helplines, online support, and guidance to individuals and families going through this complicated process.

My experience with an eating disorder has taught me just how lonely and daunting it can be. Recovery without the proper support is an impossible-looking mountain to climb. That's where Beat comes in. Their compassionate and professional help is a lifeline for so many people who are struggling.

For those suffering in silence: don't give up, help is there, and it's not something to be afraid of. It gets better. You are not alone; there are people who care and want to support you through this. Reach out and let others help you find the path to healing.

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting 1.25 million people in the UK. They are not biased; they affect all ages, men and women, and all backgrounds, with up to one in four sufferers being male.

Your help is going to make a big difference to people dealing with these difficult illnesses.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
