Running Edinburgh Half Marathon for BEAT
Hi friends, join me in making a difference by supporting a good cause! I'm raising money for BEAT (FORMERLY EATING DISORDERS ASSOCIATION) by running edinburgh half marathon in may and any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.
Around 1.25 million people in the UK suffer from these illnesses, many in secret. They are of all ages, genders and backgrounds – eating disorders do not discriminate. Eating disorders include bulimia, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), and anorexia, which tragically has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, though all eating disorders can be deadly. While this is the worst-case scenario, there are many ways in which eating disorders severely affect the quality of life of both those suffering and those who care about them. They steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. But, with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.
BEAT is an amazing charity that educates and helps people with eating disorders. Beat exists to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. Their success is entirely dependent on people like us - donors, fundraisers and supporters. They are committed to being open and honest in all they do and treating people who have suffered or are suffering with the respect you deserve.
