| I dedicate this website to those men and women
who suffer from eating disorders; to those in recovery, and to the medical
and therapeutic professionals who have dedicated themselves to the treatment
of men and women with eating disorders, acknowledging that eating disorders
are not gender-specific illnesses. You are all my
heroes.
To those who view this page, consider for a moment,
the gift you have been given and the gifts you have to
share.
Sharing one's life is what gives us meaning, what
makes us special; it empowers us, in a world that sometimes can be overwhelming.
