As many of you know, raising awareness of eating disorders and helping people connect to care is very important and personal to me. Brittany struggled with an eating disorder for many years and has been in recovery for a significant amount of time and is thriving! The National Alliance for Eating Disorders and Johanna (the CEO and Founder of The Alliance) personally saved my daughter's life.

Eating disorders severity and acuity have drastically increased, including a 100% increase in adolescent hospitalizations due to this serious mental illness. It is estimated that 1 in 9 Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime, and devastatingly every 52 minutes someone dies as a direct result of their eating disorder? And yet, less than ⅓ will ever receive access to care.

During the weekend of February 23-25, 2024, I will be participating in The Alliance’s Annual NOT ONE MORE Weekend. 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 2023 alone, more than 20,500 individuals from all 50 states and 83 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; therapist-staffed helpline and referral services; and low-cost therapeutic services for uninsured and underinsured individuals. I am so honored to be a member of their Board of Directors.

Please help me help an organization that saves lives. Will you consider donating to my page so that I can help The Alliance continue to make a difference nationwide?
