Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for The Alliance's Annual NOT ONE MORE Weekend.

If you know me, you probably know that I've spent the past 7 years pursuing a graduate degree in clinical psychology, with a focus on researching and providing treatment for individuals with eating disorders.

Less of you probably know that a decade ago, I found myself deep within the depths of an eating disorder.  This disorder consumed me, and kept me from fully living and being present in my life for years.  It also had so many costs on my physical, mental, and relational health throughout that time and I truly feel lucky to be alive, healthy, and in recovery today.  That recovery would not have been possible without the ongoing care and support from my treatment teams, loved ones, and communities like the Alliance and the hope they instilled, even when I could not feel that same hope myself.

Did you know that more than 29 million Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime and every 52 minutes someone dies as a direct result of their eating disorder?

Unfortunately, less than ⅓ will ever receive access to care. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders, the leading national nonprofit for eating disorders, has worked tirelessly over the past two decades to change these statistics. 

Please support me as I join this global movement to ensure that NOT ONE MORE life is lost, NOT ONE MORE child is taken, and NOT ONE MORE precious moment is destroyed by this insidious disease. All proceeds from the NOT ONE MORE Weekend will directly fund their free, weekly, therapist-led, virtual eating disorder support groups!

In 2022 alone, more than 20,200 individuals from all 50 states and 72 countries around the world attended Alliance groups.The Alliance is the only national nonprofit organization that provides free, weekly, therapist-led eating disorders support groups; free referrals for all levels of care through a therapist-staffed helpline and findEDhelp; low-cost therapeutic services for uninsured and underinsured individuals; and unique and empowering Southern Smash events. Simply put, The Alliance saves lives.

Please consider donating to my page so that I can help The Alliance continue to make a difference nationwide and help others access the lifesaving care that I can honestly say I probably would not be here today (and certainly wouldn't be my healthy, passionate, and wonderfully and fully alive self) without!
