Ellie is running the Plymouth 10K race on Sunday 7th October 2018 to raise money for the Plymouth Eating Disorders (EDS) day service.

During my time working for EDS in 2017, I saw the incredible hard work that staff put in and the ever-present need for additional resources to improve the service and help meet the needs of clients.

Those of you who know me know that I'm not much of a runner, but I am passionate about raising awareness and funding for this cause. I'm hoping to collect £200 to donate to EDS.

EDS provide an invaluable service to the community by giving therapy for those referred in with any type of eating disorder. They don't charge their clients for their incredible work and only receive limited funding from the local clinical commissioning group. EDS need donations to continue.

The Day Service is a relatively new service that provides more intensive community-based support for a smaller number of people with more severe problems with anorexia nervosa. EDS are trying to buy equipment in order to contribute to the functioning of the service, and the money raised will be donated to this cause.

If you want to ask me for more information then feel free to post on this page, or contact me via social media or my phone if you would rather speak privately.

Thanks for your support!
