How YOU can help with eating disorder awareness and support!
Did you know Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness? And that 95% of people who suffer from eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25?
I am currently raising money for informational bookmarks to be made to be passed out at schools and to youth organizations! Please read!
I am so excited to have been chosen to be Mrs. Winchester within the Mrs. United States Pageant System! I knew I found an organization that was perfect for me and what I stand for. Empowering women!
Now as a titleholder, and 1st Runner Up in the Mrs. Virginia United States Pageant, I will use my year promoting my platform "Eating Disorder Awareness and Support" by speaking about my story and providing hope for those that are struggling with an eating disorder, proving to them that they, too, can overcome this disorder. I have faced many years of struggling with my past eating disorder as a young teenager and into my 20's, however, I turned the hurt and helplessness into strength, courage, and I grew into a stronger and more confident woman from that situation. I want nothing more than to be able to connect with people and give them the confidence that this organization has given me.
With that being said, I need the help from my family and friends to raise the funds for my platform. I am currently raising money for informational bookmarks to be made to be passed out at schools and to youth organizations. Since 95% of people who suffer from eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25, I feel that it is very important that middle schoolers and high schoolers are educated and informed about support programs.
I would greatly appreciate any type of donation to fulfill this obligation!
All donations received will go toward the bookmarks! Any remaining funds will be given to the local support group that I have started, which will help with educational materials!
It is my hope that I will reach my goal by July 30th!
I look forward to representing Winchester and thank you for your consideration and donations!
