Story
After suffering with an eating disorder myself and knowing many who have also suffered, it has become my mission to support those struggling and ensure eating disorders are both taken more seriously and that people are given better support! Unfortunately, many are not give adequate treatment and this must change. As a pageant girl, my platform will continue to focus on eating disorder awareness and I will work hard to support those who cannot yet support themselves❤️
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.
