Project Heal: Mackenzie Knights
See their website here: https://www.theprojectheal.org/
Mackenzie lived her life to the fullest in every way she could. Truly never saying 'no' and trying just about anything. Her eating disorder stepped in as her only 'no', pulling Mackenzie back in many ways. It wasn't her but rather the voice inside her head. It’s easily confusing, as one lives inside the other, so they might at times appear as one. But they were not.
In the United States alone, there are 30 million Americans suffering with an eating disorder, and that only includes formal diagnoses. Despite this prevalence, only 20% receive treatment. The other 24 million cannot access the care they need due to insurmountable financial and insurance barriers, in addition to pervasive systemic oppression and bias.
