THE STORY:
Team True Beauty wrote -
We are a campaign to raise awareness against eating disorders. Some people have recently begun to promote "self-managed" Anorexia, commenting that it is only beautiful to be thin and to be a size zero. Our campaign, our goal is to prove these people wrong. That you don't need to be a size zero in order to be beautiful. Beauty is about the size of your heart, not your waistline.
We hope to raise as much money as possible for our cause. All proceeds will go to the National Eating Disorders Association to help with prevention, awareness and treatment. www.nationaleatingdisorders.org
"In spite of the unprecedented growth of eating disorders in the past two decades, eating disorders research continues to be under-funded, insurance coverage for treatment is inadequate, and societal pressures to be thin remain rampant." (via the NEDA website)
Please support and spread awareness for this cause. It does not matter the amount in which you donate, but that you do it to help those who need it most. It's the size of your heart, remember?
