AMAZING WORK! Thank you everyone for being so fantastic, signing and sharing it has been brilliant! 

Just to keep you all looped in a few exciting things I wanted to share:

1. I had a very exciting meeting with the Department of Health a few weeks ago. I was given the space to share the campaign and share some of your stories - they listened and were very understanding. We are working together now on next steps and how we can make this a reality across the country. 

2. Thank you to the amazing Lucy Nichol (check her out if you don't know her) - the campaign made front page in the Paper with a  double page spread. A huge thank you to Natasha Devon for all your support with this too! 

3. My cycle challenge: On Sunday 23 September I will be heading off to cycle over 1000 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End. Along the way I am stopping to share my story in hospitals and schools. I will also be pushing the #dumpthescales campaign to make sure we can get more people engaged, because wouldn't it be amazing if whilst I was cycling this gruelling challenge we hit 100,000 signatures!

Thank you so much!!! You are all brilliant - I couldn't have got this far without you all! 

Let's make this happen NOW and end the injustices of so many people with eating disorders!
