Hello and welcome to my team fundraising page!
I am so excited to be returning for our first in-person NOT ONE MORE event! This Tampa Rally helps raise funds for the free support groups The Alliance provides to the Tampa community and all over the world. As a previous volunteer, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders holds a special place in my heart.
I am now 8 years into my recovery from an eating disorder. I have seen firsthand how deadly eating disorders are, and I want to take my experience to help raise awareness so that NOT ONE MORE life is taken. From being the President of Lotus Flower Project: Eating Disorder Recovery at USF to the Social Media and Marketing Chair at iaedp Tampa, I will continue to use my voice to offer support, to raise awareness, and to ensure NOT ONE MORE.

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.
On Saturday, September 24, I will be participating in the National Alliance for Eating Disorders' NOT ONE MORE: Rally for Recovery, TAMPA. 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.
Proceeds from this event will directly fund their free, weekly, therapist-led, in-person support groups in the Tampa Bay area, as well as our virtual groups virtual eating disorder support groups! In 2021 alone, more than 18,900 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; referral services for all levels of care; 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 our page so that I can help The Alliance continue to make a difference nationwide!
