Thanks so much for clicking onto my JustGiving page ☺️

Charlotte and I will be running the Windsor half marathon in September(luckily not 300 miles as my sister thought it was). I'll be fundraising for Beat which is a charity really close to my heart. Lockdown has been a super scary time for those with eating disorders with the gyms closing and limited food being available it’s allowed relentless eating disorder habits and thoughts to creep back in. 

After struggling with anorexia and obsessive exercise for almost a decade a half marathon may seem like a controversial choice of fundraising but for me it's more than a race or a personal best. It's about proving to myself that I can train without being too hard on myself and knowing that if I need to walk then it isn’t a failed task. It’s allowing myself to exercise without wanting to change the way I look, it will be a journey of learning to change the intentions of  exercising from calorie burning ritual to a strength building achievement. 

Thank you again,

Bella xxxx
