I'm fundraising for Beat – the UK’s eating disorder charity.
My friend Ellie suffered with an eating disorder over the last few years and unfortunately passed away on 5th August this year. I wanted to do something in her memory and I just know she’s laughing at my attempt of running 125km in one month
Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses that can affect anyone. Right now, at least 1.25 million (1 in 50) people in the UK have an eating disorder – with millions of loved ones also affected. But there is hope. With better understanding, faster diagnosis and proper treatment, recovery is possible. Beat offer people emotional support and expert advice, and work to change policies, perceptions, and lives. Together, we’ll end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. 💜
