Naomi and Lucie taking on the Edinburgh Marathon Festival for Beat!

We are running the EMF half marathon this year for Beat because we have both been affected and had loved ones affected by eating disorders. We both made it through despite challenges, and we want to raise awareness of our experiences because we do not want others to suffer in silence. We are fundraising together, and all the money raised will go directly to Beat, who provide resources for people suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.

Although it is not an easy journey, we believe recovery is 100% possible, and we are running to prove that eating disorders can be beaten.

Beat is the UK's eating disorders charity. From our helpline to our online workshops and chatrooms, we are on a mission to end the pain caused by eating disorders by providing support and bringing people together to ensure that recovery is possible.

Every donation makes a difference. No matter the amount, your contribution will directly support Beat's mission and help people access vital support. Thank you for supporting this important cause. With your help, we can bring hope and healing to those affected by eating disorders and ensure no one has to face these struggles alone.

Beat receives no funding from central government, so we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help us continue our important work.
