On October 23rd I'm skydiving 10,000 feet in support of BEAT.
After recovering last year from the eating disorders that shaped my life since age 13, I decided to begin raising awareness on behalf of thousands of young people in the UK suffering from these serious and very real conditions.
Anorexia and bulimia destroy lives secretly from the inside out, but are often left untreated due to shame, taboo, or the sheer difficulty sufferers have in asking for help.
Donations will be invaluable in contributing towards help and support for patients, so they can one day look in the mirror and smile again.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
