Hi, I'm Greta, and I'm fully recovered from an eating disorder. Today, I'm urging you to sign this petition to increase federal funding for eating disorder research across the United States. This isn't just a personal story—millions of people in our country struggle with eating disorders, and many of them lack access to the critical resources they need to recover.

There are screening tools and programs that are available online, but they rely heavily on donations and limited funding. These tools are essential for early detection and help those struggling to find a path to recovery. By boosting federal funding, we can ensure these vital resources remain accessible and can reach more people in need.

Research into eating disorders is underfunded, leaving gaps in understanding and treatment. By increasing government support for scientific and clinical research, we can develop innovative treatments and bring much-needed awareness to these often-overlooked disorders. It's important that federal funding is directed towards obtaining grants for this research, enabling more comprehensive studies and, ultimately, more effective treatments.

Awareness and prevention are also key. Increased funding will help organizations like the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) continue their essential work in educating the public and promoting prevention strategies. This is where you can make a difference—not only by signing this petition but by spreading the word. Share this cause and encourage others to understand the significance of federal support in battling eating disorders.

Please join me in this critical movement. Sign this petition to urge our government to prioritize funding for eating disorder research. Every signature counts—let's ensure that those who need help can find it. Together, we can make a real difference.
