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
