I am fundraising for Beat, 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.

I am taking part in this skydive with Ellie for BEAT as this is a charity that is very close to her heart and has provided her with support. We are both supporting this charity to make sure this support is also available to other people that need it. I also want to take this moment to say how proud I am of Ellie and how far she has come and for not giving up no matter how tough it gets.
