GARDATHON · 5 April 2020

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

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I really appreciate it.

As we are in a global lockdown I will completing a Half Marathon in my garden #stayathome

Beat is the UK's leading Eating Disorder's Charity. Beat work closely with the Royal College of Psychiatrists and various statutory organisations to change the way that Eating Disorders are viewed and  treated. For too many years, there has been too little treatment for ED, delivered far too late. ED has the highest mortality of any mental illness and dramatically affects the lives of sufferers and also the lives of those that live and love alongside them. As well as crucial campaigning, Beat supports carers, siblings and runs a 356 days a year support line. In raising the profile of ED, Beat are also highlighting the issues around funding for all mental health illness and opening much needed debates.

Just like myself, many vulnerable people do not have crucial access to the support they normally get and have turned to the beat website. There has been a 30% increase in the demand for the service due to this so please help me raise money for such a worthy cause. Any support and contribution would be greatly appreciated.
