In April I will be running the London Marathon and raising money for Eating Matters, a Norfolk based charity offering counselling for children and adults with eating disorders. The counselling team delivers a range of psychological approaches, with an emphasis on early intervention.

Eating disorders affect millions of people in the UK each year, and the earlier someone gets treatment, the better their chance of recovery is. I know from personal experience how important support like this can be and this is why I would like to play a small part and raise funds for this much needed charity.

Eating Matters is a registered charity that relies on donations to continue operating. They receive some statutory funding from the NHS for their adult service and from Children in Need for their children’s service, but this does not cover the full cost and is not guaranteed.

Thank you for your support and donations.
