Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page 🤍

For those of you that know me will know that over the last 18 months / 2 years I have found a love for the gym and all exercise, which is crazy for saying I used to avoid all exercise growing up!

But thanks to exercise I can finally say after 16 years i have most definitely overcome my disordered eating / eating disorder. Those of you close to me know its been one hell of a journey these last 16 years, plenty of ups and downs but we got there in the end 🤍

I am the healthiest, strongest and happiest version of me I have ever been in my life, But most importantly Im setting a great example for my little Florence; showing her its better to be strong than ‘skinny’, to enjoy exercise but also to truly love life.

So, in April 2025 I will be running the Paris Marathon to raise money for SYEDA ‘South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association’, a local independent charity that provides support to those affected by eating disorders, including family and friends. Now as a mum I cannot begin to imagine what my own Mum has gone through all these years and I wish there had been something like this for us when we needed it the most. They also provide education and training sessions to schools, colleges, professionals and in the community. Between 1.25 and 3.4 million people in the UK suffer from some form of eating disorder.

I’m running this for everyone in my life who has been so patient with me all these years past and present, for helping me at my lowest times and for loving me through it all. For those present and in the future that need and will need the support from SYEDA. But most of all, my little girly Florence you are my motivation forever🤍
