Ever since I was little I have dreamt of exploring the world, going on adventures and experiencing all things adrenaline.

However, when at the age of 15, Anorexia Nervosa took over- I spiralled to the bottom of a very deep dark hole. I lost all hope and never Imagined the life I had fantasised about as a carefree child would be reachable. I was depressed and filled to the brim with anxiety. I hated my life and I wanted it to end. Stuck in a constant cycle of hospitals with forced recovery followed by instant relapse- I couldn't see a way out. I truly believed this was just how it was going to be, some get lucky, some don't. Boy was I wrong!

.......6 years on, I am stronger than ever. I am alive! I beat all odds and I can now mould myself into the best me possible! After climbing such a massive mental mountain, it's now time for me to climb a physical one- all 19,341 ft of Mount Kilimanjaro!!

Recovery is such an amazing thing, it is 100% possible but it is difficult and takes a hell of a lot of perseverance and willpower. There are good days and bad days and everything in between. But I now know one thing for sure- it is not possible alone! A friendly face and someone to talk to can make such a massive difference to help to break free of the soul crushing grips of mental health disorders. I would still be stuck in the depths of my troubles without the input of the amazing people I have met during my journey. Suzie from Eating Matters has been there for a large chunk of my recovery and the support I have received has been incredible. (It certainly tops all the other services being offered elsewhere!) I would love to be able to help raise some funds to help others to change their lives around and receive a similar experience that I was lucky enough to have. Everyone deserves a chance :)
