Hi.
I am holding a candlelight vigil to recognize and raise awareness
reguarding eating disorders sufferers who have died from this
devastating illness but also for those who have overcome and beat
all odds. Time is running out for me and I do not have enough time
myself to publicize this event like I was hoping to be able to do.
If you would please email this to everyone you know and if you have
time hang up this flyer around your community. Thank you so much.
In Christ's love
