Can you tell our girls a little bit about the organization, how you got involved and your role on the NEDA Team?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s so nice &#8211; the feelings are definitely mutual! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaleatingdisorders.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NEDA<\/a> stands for National Eating Disorders Association, and we are the leading U.S. non-profit for providing support to individuals and their loved ones affected by eating disorders. NEDA advocates for prevention, early intervention, research, and access to quality care for eating disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I became involved with NEDA after overcoming an eating disorder. I was a two-time volunteer NEDA Walk coordinator in my college town. I wanted to give back to an organization that was there for me, and to spread awareness on a subject that was once even hard for me to talk about. It was an experience that challenged and thrilled me and also inspired me to do more. Now fast forward, and I am the National Walk Manager at NEDA where I am overseeing 65 city walk campaigns and supporting the dedicated walk coordinators who make it all possible! It\u2019s a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New NEDA walks are being added all the time!

This tool can direct users to the right resources for getting help and getting healthy. This initiative doesn\u2019t end with NEDAwareness Week, though. The online screening tool, Information &amp; Referral Helpline, and our other programs, resources, and support networks (like Proud2BMe and NEDA Navigators) are readily available to provide education and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We heard you use to work at Aerie!
