21km for 21 years
Niruni Abeysirigunawardana is raising money for Butterfly Foundation
Story
Hello! I’ve decided to run 21km for my 21st birthday in mid-April and would love if anyone would like to support me, by helping me raise money for the Butterfly Foundation.
Butterfly Foundation is an Australian organisation providing support for those affected by eating disorders and body image issues. They provide the support, treatment programs and education required to assist the over 1 million Australians living with an eating disorder and their affected loved ones.
Having struggled with an eating disorder, as well as having watched some close to me courageously fight their own experiences with it, I understand not only the importance of unconditional love and support of close family and friends, but also the professional support of organisations like Butterfly. Running has been a huge motivation for my recovery over recent years, and so I thought it would be fitting to set myself this challenge for my birthday while raising money for an organisation close to my heart ❤️
