i’m choosing to raise money for beat and get involved in the BEAT 1-2-5 October challenge, this is why…

an eating disorder doesn’t just affect the individual suffering, it affects everyone around them.

when i was diagnosed with anorexia not only was my life put on hold, my parents life’s were too. my future dreams and goals felt impossible and everything was at a standstill. this was something completely new for my family and myself, during our research we came across the beat website. BEAT educated my parents on the best way to support me and guide me throughout my recovery. my best friend stayed by my side throughout it all, being there for me and helping me wherever she can. my older sister watched the sparkle come back to her little sister when i chose recovery, she stood be me and supported me throughout the highs and the lows. without BEAT, my support system wouldn’t be as strong as it is now and i would have felt so alone and misunderstood.

“only you alone can choose to recover, but you can not recovery alone”
