RUNNING THE SUPER HALFS FOR EDNE
Copenhagen, Cardiff, Berlin, Lisbon ✔️
5/6 : Valencia 25th October 2026
6/6 : Prague 3rd April 2027
More people die every year from eating disorders than any other mental illness. It’s an area that is still completely misunderstood and falling way short of adequate funding, research and specialist intervention services. I’ve thought a lot about this and how we can shift the paradigm. Beyond sharing experiences , normalising discussion to break silence and shame and supporting impactful campaigns like dump the scales and BEAT finally making waves in parliament, we need to publicise and preserve the services we do have, because early intervention really does make the difference.
In the north east england we are privileged to have free access to Eating Distress North East - a specialist eating disorder psychotherapy service and charity. I was fortunate enough to have received their support and know just how integral they have been to my own recovery journey.
I’ll be running the Super Half marathons - Cardiff, Lisbon, Berlin, Valencia & Prague with EDNE in mind in the hope of making a positive change, even just to one persons life.
