Story

Come and join us for what I'm sure will be a hilarious night of music, drinking, shaving and waxing!

Make sure you come with open hearts and bulging wallets!

This night will be my chance to give back to a charity very very close to my heart, a charity that quite frankly saved my life. It offered a safe space for me to open up, be myself and share my deepest shame...  how my entire life was being consumed and controlled by devastatingly painful eating disorders.

The support of BEAT and every member of my family and friends allowed me to finally not feel ashamed of my suffering and able to be honest and speak up to get the help I desperately needed.


Thank you to everyone who is supporting and has supported me through my recovery.  I’ve had lots of very positive feedback about my open and honest approach to it so I will continue to share in this way, though I will admit that it is  absolutely terrifying.


For those of you fighting the same, or similar demons – I wish you every success and the one piece of advice given to me which I was hesitant to take but have not, for a moment regretted, is reach out and talk to people. 

Let them know how they can help you and then let them do so.  There is no need to battle these demons alone.
