A recovering anorexia sufferer from Burnham-On-Sea will be in the national spotlight in February when her fight to overcome the eating disorder is highlighted on a primetime ITV1 show.
Emma Parish, 14, is overcoming the disorder with the help of her personal trainer, Alex Fry, at the Fit 4 All gym in Love Lane.
And her battle with anorexia will be featured on ITV’s Tonight With Trevor McDonald programme on February 5th during Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
“I’ve been suffering from the disorder for 18 months and am receiving excellent help. I am almost over the problem now,” said Emma. “I’m really pleased that ITV are helping to raise awareness of the disorder.”
Fit 4 All is also holding a fundraising night during March when money raised will go towards the Eating Disorders Association.
Auctions, raffles and live music from local musicians – including Jamie Lee – will be held on March 2nd. Tickets for the event are on sale now from the fitness centre or by calling 01278 795938.
