Helen does the Amsterdam marathon for SYEDA

Helen Cotton is raising money for South Yorkshire Eating Disorders Association

Amsterdam Marathon 2026 · 18 October 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

SYEDA’s vision is that anyone in South Yorkshire affected by or at risk of an eating disorder can find the support needed. We provide a range of services including: counselling, support groups, education, training and workshops. Annually, SYEDA works with around 500 people each year.

Story

In October, I’ll be running the Amsterdam Marathon. My first ever marathon. At 40.

This is either a meaningful personal challenge… or a very active midlife crisis. Possibly both.

I’m running for the South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association (SYEDA), a local charity providing vital support to people affected by eating disorders. They offer counselling, support groups and early intervention across South Yorkshire.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be hugely grateful. Every pound helps SYEDA continue their essential work.

And if nothing else, please cheer me on as I attempt to run around Amsterdam for several hours (at least it's pretty flat?!?)

Thank you so much for your support 💛

Helen
