In the past, I have written a little bit about Project HEAL. If you haven't had a chance to check out my interviews with the ladies who founded this awesome non-profit, follow this link (and this one too!). I recently got an email from the ladies and they asked me to share the following info with you regarding an event they are hosting in honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Check it out below!

The event is open to the community and will offer support for patients, parents, siblings, friends, teachers, professionals, etc.

While eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses, there is HELP available and recovery really is possible. It is important for those affected to remember that they are not alone in their struggle; others have recovered and are now living healthy fulfilling lives. Please join us as we continue to spread Project HEAL’s mission, to show sufferers that recovery can be attained, and to inspire all people to look beyond physical bodily appearances!
