Support NEDA's Mission to Combat Eating Disorders

Hi! My name is Emma and I am a senior at Royal Oak High School. The goal for our senior project is to try and help with a topic we care about. For my project I am raising money for NEDA (national eating disorder awareness). I chose this topic because eating disorders are very common within teenagers and are often gone unnoticed. My goal is to raise $500 for NEDA which gives more money to treatment for kids and adults who are struggling.

Help Us Heal: NEDA Fundraiser

It started with a diet. It quickly progressed to restricted eating, leading to full-on restriction, leading to guilt every time I ate, leading to purging. It started when I was 7 and has progressed throughout time to now at 19, almost 20. Eating disorders are no joke and nothing to mess with. They're not fun. Not quirky. Not cute. Not a personality trait. They ARE AN ADDICTION. It becomes a PART of you. It CONSUMES you as you feel the need to not consume. I have lost people to EDs and I lost MYSELF to them. I was better for a short amount of time, relapsed, got better, and recently relapsed again but am recovering and NEDA empowers everyone else to recover and strengthens me. I want that for other people as well. Donating to this fundraiser for NEDA will provide community supports for current struggles and survivors as well as awareness. Please donate and help me empower others.

REMEMBER HEALING ISN'T LINEAR.

Running for a Cause

As many of you know, running a marathon is a commitment unlike any other - it requires discipline in your workout regimen, along with diligent sleep and recovery cycles. It also requires a diet that supports your goals.

What you may not know, however, is that as many as 10% of Americans suffer with diagnosable eating disorders, and nearly 30% of Americans exhibit disordered eating behaviors on occasion. Yet, there are a dearth of resources for people struggling in their relationship with food, meaning many people have to suffer in silence.

Both Darren and Alex have undergone remarkable transformations in their own lives. Both of those journeys had running at the epicenter, and thus, food was too. For this reason, we have decided to raise money during the upcoming 2023 Los Angeles Marathon for NEDA.

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is the leading U.S. non-profit organization supporting individuals & families affected by eating disorders. NEDA serves as a catalyst for prevention, cures & access to quality care. Each year, NEDA helps millions of people across the country find information & appropriate treatment resources through its toll-free, live helpline, its many outreach programs & website. NEDA advocates for advancements in the field & envisions a world without eating disorders.

We greatly appreciate your generosity and consideration. See you at the finish line <3

Eating Disorders Suck #run4recovery

Hi! My name is Adrienne and on October 13th, 2018 I will be running the Hartford Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) in Hartford Connecticut to raise awareness and funds for a charity that fights everyday for people like...me. Who am I? Well.......

I'm a Runner. I'm also a mother, daughter, sister, friend....oh and....I'm an anorexic. I say that in the present tense because eating disorders aren't just something you once had but are now recovered from. They are diseases you always carry with you, even after recovery. My battle has been long and hard. It's been filled with loss, fear, pain, frustration, danger, steps forward and steps back. There is no one way to beat an eating disorder but for ME, two things helped pave my path to recovery:

One: I LOVE to run and I could no longer run. Not the way I used to anyway. Anorexia stole something that had brought me so much joy and vibrance and health for so many years. Running had been my Church for 21 years and then....I could no longer go to church. The disease stole my body and now had stolen my faith, my soul, my passion. UNACCEPTABLE.

Two: A dear (amazingly best) friend and I traveled to Utah last May. On our journey we became close with an absolutely wonderful couple from Australia who, as it happened, have a teenage daughter who is an anorexic, and who's fight with the disease had become dire. I was in the depths of my fight at the time as well and hearing the story of this little girl, who was fighting so hard, fueled a determination in me to fight harder. To fight for her. To fight for me. To fight for every little girl who cant just #eatthecake. To fight for every mother who's had to sit in her car crying for an hour because she knows she doesn't have the strength to get out, walk to the backdoor and lift her 4 year old out of his carseat. To fight for every single man, woman and child who have ever looked in the mirror and heard the lies and the hate that this vicious disease shouts. UNACCEPTABLE.

So I did fight. Hard. And I got stronger. And I ran. And then I ran more. And I realized #foodisfuel. And I used my passion for a plant based diet to learn everything I could about truly fueling my body. And today I can say that yes, I am an anorexic, but I am now an anorexic who has entered recovery!

Phylicia Fights Eating Disorders!

Friends, I am on mission to raise at least $4,000 for the National Eating Disorder Association by July 9th.

The National Eating Disorder Association is a not-for-profit organization that supports individuals and families affected by eating disorders, and serves as a catalyst for prevention, cures, and access to quality care. In the United States, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life. In fact, anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.There is a significant lack of funding to combat eating disorders and their devastating consequences. As a result, too many individuals and families are left feeling helpless, hopeless, and frightened.

When I was in the midst of my eating disorder, I utilized the many resources the NEDA has to offer including their online screening and their helpline. I spent many nights on the phone with their trained volunteers, so lost, but so grateful to have someone that was there to listen. Since I was unable to afford specialized treatment, the resources the NEDA offered played a large role in my recovery and ultimately saving my life. Today, I am happier, healthier, and, like the NEDA, envision a world without eating disorders.

You can go to www.nationaleatingdisorders.org and check out some of their resources.
