Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity. Our mission is to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. These serious mental illnesses ruin and, too often, take lives. Our Helpline is available online or by phone for anyone suffering, as well as their family and friends.

Story

I'm Aimee, I'm a 22-year-old postgraduate student at Leeds University Business School. Anyone that knows me well knows 2 things: a) I LOVE to run. b) Eating disorders are an issue that is very close to my own heart. So, in 2019 I have decided to run a marathon (something that I have always wanted to do) in pursuit of raising money for Beat, the UK’s eating disorder charity.

It's estimated that 1.25million people in the UK suffer from an eating disorder. These disorders are extremely cruel and some have the highest mortality rates amongst psychiatric disorders. That's why I've chosen to run this year and take this challenge to raise money and awareness. By donating anything you can afford to spare to Beat, you could be providing someone with the support they need to be able to battle through these cruel illnesses.

Join me in my effort, and donate whatever you can for the cause.

Together we can Beat this.


Soy Aimee, tengo 22 años y estoy cursando mi master en Gestión de marketing internacional en Leeds University Business School. Aquellos que me conocen bien, saben 2 cosas: a) Me encanta correr. b) Los trastornos alimentarios son un asunto que realmente me preocupa. Por este motivo, en 2019, tengo decidido correr un maratón (algo que siempre he querido hacer) y así recaudar dinero para Beat, la principal organización de caridad de trastornos alimentarios en el Reino Unido.

Se estima que casi 1,25 millón personas en el Reino Unido padecen de trastornos alimentarios. Estas enfermedades son complicadas y algunas tienen la tasa de mortalidad más alta entre los trastornos mentales. Por eso yo he elegido correr y enfrentarme a este gran desafío y recaudar dinero para Beat. Al donar lo que puedan a Beat, podrían darle el apoyo necesario a alguien que lo necesite para recuperarse de esta cruel enfermedad.

Únanse en mi propósito y donen lo que puedan permitirse para esta causa.

Together we can Beat this.
