𝗠𝘂𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 - 𝟭𝟮 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁

Hello everyone!

We’re so excited to share that my mum and I are taking part in a 𝟭𝟮-𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 to raise awareness and funds for 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity. This event means so much to us, and we’re so grateful to be doing it together. Through this talkathon, we want to raise awareness about eating disorders, share our experiences and provide support to others who may be going through similar challenges.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁:

Beat is an incredible charity that provides expert support and information to anyone affected by eating disorders. Whether you are someone experiencing an eating disorder or a loved one looking for guidance, Beat is there to help. Eating disorders can be isolating and difficult to talk about, but Beat works hard to ensure no one has to go through it alone. They are also committed to challenging the stigma around eating disorders and advocating for better care and resources.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:

The funds we raise will directly support Beat’s life-changing services. Your donations will help:

💜 Helplines – Beat’s helplines offer free, confidential advice for anyone affected by eating disorders.

💜 Online Support – Beat provides online support groups and individual chats to help those who may not have access to face-to-face support.

💜 Resources & Education – Your donations will fund important resources that Beat provides to schools, workplaces, and communities, as well as raise awareness about eating disorders.

💜 Research & Advocacy – Beat works hard to influence policy changes and improve care for people with eating disorders, and your support will help fund these efforts.

𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆:

Throughout the 12 hours, we’ll be taking part in a variety of activities that are not only meaningful but also a little fun! We’ll be discussing key topics such as body image, stigma, and recovery, while also reflecting on our personal experiences and the role loved ones play in supporting those affected by eating disorders.

We want this event to be interactive and engaging, so we’ll be using social media to:

📸 Share updates and moments from the day as they happen.

📱 Post reflections on the conversations we’re having, the activities we’re doing, and why this cause matters so much.

🗣️ Answer your questions and respond to your messages, creating an open and supportive space for dialogue.

It’s important to us that this isn’t just about raising funds but also about sparking real, honest conversations.

Eating disorders are often misunderstood, and we want to break down the barriers that prevent people from talking openly. Whether it’s through sharing stories, tackling misconceptions, or providing hope for recovery, every moment of this talkathon is dedicated to making a difference.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:

2. 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 – Please share our page with your friends and family. The more people who know about the talkathon, the more lives we can touch.

3. 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Follow along with us on social media, ask questions, share your thoughts and help raise awareness about eating disorders. https://fb.me/e/8oet3dfQv
