I will be participating in a three-legged race around an athletics track to raise money for First Steps Derbyshire; they have been so wonderful in supporting me and seeing how much of a positive impact they make to the lives of others affected by eating distress has spurred me to organise and participate in this fund-raiser to help enable them to keep offering such a high quality service accessible to all.

First Steps is Derbyshire’s ONLY eating disorder charity and is registered with B-eat; the national charity for eating disorders. First Steps support people of ALL ages, with ANY type of eating difficulty or disorder, alongside their parents, partners, families and friends, all over Derbyshire and the surrounding areas

First Steps is a unique service user lead organisation and provides support groups, alternative therapies, training, nutritional information, one to one sessions, positive activities and social outings.

First Steps *is* a charity, and is only able to offer such great support thanks to generous donations; this event hopes to raise awareness and funds for the charity. Thanks go to Moorways Sports Complex for allowing us the gratuitous use of their athletics track.
