Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be cycling 300 miles over the course of July. This may seem small to some but to me it is a challenging feat.

Beat is the UK's eating disorder charity. Founded in 1989 as the Eating Disorders Association, their mission is to end the pain and suffering
caused by eating disorders.

Their national Helpline exists to encourage and empower people to get help quickly enhancing the chance and speed of recovery. People can contact them online or by phone 365 days a year. They also support family and friends, equipping them with essential skills and advice, so they can help their loved ones recover whilst also looking after their own mental health. They campaign to increase knowledge among healthcare and other relevant professionals, and for better funding for high-quality treatment, so that when people are brave
enough to take vital steps towards recovery, the right help is available to them. The work they do means that every year lives are saved, families are kept together, and people are able to live free of eating disorders.

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that ruin and, too often, take lives. Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes: we never know how someone is suffering from their appearance.

Having suffered with an ED for the best part of 5 years I understand the isolation and pain it can cause. However, I was extremely lucky in terms of support and some people do not have this luxury. Demand for Beat's services has increased by 73% since the coronavirus pandemic began and funding
has been put at serious risk. Please do help in any way you can to help me reach my goal to help Beat and the people it supports.
