For absolutely year's London marathon has always been on my bucket list and this year I was lucky enough to get a spot which I am over the moon about!

As many of my close family and friends know I've battled my own eating disorder for many years with so much support. So it seemed only right that on Sunday 27th April i run London Marathon for BEAT with a cause so very close to me and where I've come from. Eating disorders affect more people than you think and eating disorder service's are very under funded. I know times are hard and expensive right now but even a little donation means the world. I could go out and just run on that day but to raise money whilst achieving a lifetime goal is the extra motivation and makes it even more special than it already is... Training is a go and I'm so excited to put it all out there in April and raise money for BEAT 💗 support is everything whilst training for a run like this but it is also everything whilst suffering with an eating disorder 🫶

Beat is the UK's eating disorder charity. Beat supports anyone with an eating disorder, their friends and family, as well as professionals working with or worried about an individual in their care.

These serious mental illnesses include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. 1.25 million people in the UK have a diagnosed eating disorder. They affect people of all ages and backgrounds, and up to one in four sufferers are male. Eating disorders cost the UK's economy £16.8 billion each year.
