Today is day 3 of Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2014.
As well as raising awareness, I think this week would be a good time to raise money for eating disorder charities such as "beat" in the UK, and "NEDA" in the USA.
But the question is, "what can I do to raise money?"
So I thought I'd list a few quick ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Things you could do to raise money :
- Friendship bracelt/ bracelet or jewlllery making and selling
- Painting nails/ Makeovers/ Doing hair
- Cake sale (yes it is ironic, but as a school or class it is still a good thing to do, and is always guaranteed to make money!)
- Ask your school to make events/ do an assembly etc.
- Sell handmade cards or crafts
etc.
Even doing chores around the house to earn some money and donating it contributes- and even if it isn't a lot, it does add up of everyone does it.

Our fundraising efforts! :
Here are some posters we made at the inpatient and day patient adolescent eating disorders unit I go to, advertising Eating Disorders Awareness Week and the things we have planned for fundraising:
Have fun, and go on and raise awareness and some money if you can.
If you do anything to raise money and want to be featured on this blog, please email me on myjourneywithrecovery@gmail.com - I would absolutely LOVE to hear from you!
