As some of you may know in March 2014 I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, a deadly eating disorder. I never thought anything like this would ever, ever happen to me, but you don’t see it coming until it sneaks up on you and before you know it you’ve been captivated by it and it has control of you. It meant I wasn’t able to enjoy my late teens, a time where I should’ve been out enjoying life like an average 18 year old. It’s taken so much away from me but in September 2017 after a relapse I was lucky enough to receive a day patient style treatment which has truly saved my life and shown me recovery is possible, and that life is amazing ! Unfortunately with nhs waiting lists and financial limitations not everyone is as lucky as I am to receive such amazing treatment and have to rely on charities such as BEAT to help them out during their time in limbo. It’d mean to world to me if you could get behind me and sponsor me in the big jump, in aid of BEAT. This illness not only takes away relationships (with family and friends )  and life experiences but is also the most deadly mental heath illness and change is needed. 

 I am braving The Big Jump in aid of Beat, the UK's eating disorders charity.On Saturday 6 October I will take on the ultimate fear facing challenge and leap from an aeroplane at 10,000ft, alongside brave fundraisers all over the UK.Why am I fundraising for Beat?- Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting 1.25 million people across the UK.- On average, sufferers face an average wait of three and a half years for specialist treatment, with the average illness lasting six years.- Anorexia has a higher mortality rate than any other mental illness.- Beat exists to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. They offer free services 365 days a year, and aim to support 40,000 people this year.
