I am taking part in the Paris 2010 Marathon next April. I have chosen to support Beat during my run as this is a charity very close to my heart.

 

Beat helps young people with eating disorders by providing support to those who are suffering and arming their family members and friends with the knowledge they need to help combat this debilitating disease.

 

As a former sufferer of anorexic, I am proud to help raise funds for this charity by taking part in this race. Any eating disorder is a long and hard battle to overcome and not something which disappears overnight, but with the help and support of charities, such as Beat, sufferers are given the chance of living a healthy, happy life.

 

Eating Disorders affect some many people of all genders, ages and races across the globe - please dig deep and help those in need.
