Hello Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 12th September I'm going to attempt to write a 10,000 word story to raise awareness about eating disorders, the money I raise will go to the eating disorder charity, B-eat. The event itself is being held at the All Things Chocolate Shopin Leicester from 9:30am - 7pm so if you want to come along, have a coffee and say hello, please do.

Eating disorders are very misunderstood and they're more common than you might think, approximately 1.1million people in the U.K. are affected by eating disorders. The strain, not only those suffering from an eating disorder, but also on the people around them is more than you could possibly imagine. Unlike people who suffer from a disease of the body, an eating disorder is a disease of the mind and it's very hard to support someone, who at times, doesn't want to get better. B-eat's aim is to try and relieve some of that strain by giving support to people with eating disorders and their families be it through counselling, fundraising or just raising awareness.
