SEPTEMBER 2007
Largest Eating Disorder Event in Canada
With the recent attention on pro-anorexia groups on MySpace and Facebook, model’s deaths, celebrities admitting to eating disorders and shrinking actresses in Hollywood, the below event couldn’t be better timed.
Until Your Heart’s Content will take place this October 11th at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam.
Canadian insurance covers a limited number of weeks of treatment for an eating disorder, but it takes years to fully recover. Most individuals don’t get a chance to heal and end up relapsing again and again.
Films like Lauren Greenfield’s Thin, showcases the misery of eating disorders but not the hope. Until Your Heart’s Content is the awareness event of the year, posed to become the largest eating disorder benefit in Canada.
The evening will include international and local speakers, as well as musicians and performers who have struggled themselves. Renowned author and co-founder of the Anorexia & Bulimia Center of Hawaii, Anita Johnston, will be holding her celebrated “Soul Hunger” workshop on October 13th, as well as be the much anticipated keynote speaker of the evening.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to Shelley’s Angels Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those without the financial means afford private counselling for an eating disorder.
