Every Day in May is an annual event. I will undertake the month-long individual challenge whilst raising money as a team. I pledge to cover 5km (3.1 miles), every day, by any self-powered means; for me this will be a combination of walking and running (there may be some dancing but I need to check how Dilly Dog feels about this). 

We have chosen Beat as our dedicated team charity this year and we would love to raise as much as we can for Beat, which is the UK's national eating disorder charity. 

Beat began life in 1989 as the first national charity for people with eating disorders because of a merger of two local charities. Called the Eating Disorders Association, they have grown and developed over time to become Beat.

They exist to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. They are a champion, guide and friend to anyone affected, giving individuals experiencing an eating disorder and their loved ones a place where they feel listened to, supported and empowered.
