Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity. Our mission is to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. These serious mental illnesses ruin and, too often, take lives. Our Helpline is available online or by phone for anyone suffering, as well as their family and friends.

Story

If, like me, you’re a fan of Baz Luhrmann’s Wear Sunscreen, You’ll be familiar with “Do one thing, every day, that scares you..”

Well, trust me, I’m scared! But this is why I’ve named this foolhardy (!) act my Leap of Faith. And it’s taking that leap of faith, in so many ways in life, which is so important. Conquering your fears is empowering, joyful and freeing.. no matter how small or seemingly insignificant that fear may be to others. To those suffering with an eating disorder, fear is the monster that stands between them and freedom, joy and acceptance. So, as I dangle my little Jack Russell-like legs out of that plane and think WTF am I DOING... remember. I’m doing it for everybody who wants to slay that dragon. Go for it!
