Run for Recovery · 26 May 2021

Butterfly Foundation is a national organisation offering support for all people affected by an eating disorder and body image concerns. Along with our support services, such as the National ED HOPE Helpline, an Intensive Outpatient Program, an adolescent day program and regular support groups, we also run education programs across the country for young people, parents and professionals on building positive body image and self-esteem. As well as being a leading national voice in supporting those impacted by eating disorders, Butterfly highlights the realities of seeking treatment for recovery, and advocates for improved services from both government and independent sources. Butterfly is dedicated to changing the culture, policy and practice in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders and to raising awareness of eating disorders as a serious social, medical and mental health issue. You can help invest in a positive future for so many. Please support Butterfly's services TODAY. YOU are part of the solution! Thank You.

Story

*CW/TW: Eating disorders*

Over 1 million Australians struggle with an eating disorder, while less than ¼ of these people receive support. 

Throughout June, I’m running 100km to raise money for the Butterfly Foundation while challenging the stigma surrounding eating disorders.

The Butterfly Foundation hopes to increase the number of people getting help by providing support services, treatment and resources, including a National Helpline that reaches 20,000 people each year.

Running 100km in a month will be a huge challenge for two reasons:

  1. I’m in recovery
  2. I hate running (:

Any donation big or small is incredible and so many lives will change thanks to you!
