Over 24 million Americans battle eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder.  Many of those suffering ultimately lose their battle, but there is hope. 

Melissa Avrin lost her life to an eating disorder. Following her death, Judy Avrin, Melissa’s mother, formed Someday Melissa – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that was established to promote awareness of the dangers of eating disorders. Our goal is to provide information and support so others have the best chance for recovery.

The cornerstone of our efforts is the film, “Someday Melissa, the story of an eating disorder, loss and hope.” It’s our desire that through the film, speaking engagements, this website, and educational materials, we will provide a beacon of hope to those suffering with their own disorder.

Fake It Till You Make It

I met Sara at the first NEDA walk in New York City two and a half years ago and we have remained in touch.  After ten years of living a healthy, ED-free life, she looked back at her experience with bulimia and realized how lucky she had been to make a full recovery after suffering for 6 years.  She decided to get involved helping others and went back to school for her Masters in Mental Health.  This guest blog is a retrospective of how she traveled from then to now.  ~ Judy
