This year I have decided to challenge myself in order to raise money to support people experiencing body image issues and eating disorders via Been There.

Been There is a remote charity providing 1:1 peer support from a lived experience Mentor. Mentors walk alongside their Mentee with a deep empathy and understanding of the challenges that they are facing because they have Been There too.

61% of adults in Britain feel negative or extremely negative about their body image, which can have hugely detrimental effects on mental any physical health. 1/8 people have experienced suicidal thoughts because of poor body image. Anorexia nervosa is the deadliest mental illness in the UK and most of its victims claim their own lives.

By sponsoring my challenge, you can help me to improve the health and happiness of so many more Mentees who urgently need compassionate support. You can be part of smashing the stigma that keeps so many suffering in silence.

Let's reach 61k!
