Hello!
I am Lauren and I am a junior in high school in the Philadelphia area. I am a survivor of anorexia, overcoming urges, thoughts, and behaviors linked to eating disorders. I have battled with this every single day over the past few years. I am writing to ask for a donation to support the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Eating Disorder Research Fund.

Eating disorders are the second deadliest form of mental illness. Persuasive in its characteristics, eating disorders affect at least 9 percent or more of the worldwide population. Since the pandemic, concerns have risen and the statistics are alarming. Positively, there is treatment and, recovery is possible with the support from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The CHOP Eating Disorder Research Program works to improve outcomes, identify risk factors, and reduce the burden of illness in children and adolescents.
Currently, the Eating Disorder Research Program at CHOP is studying
-Sex Differences in Eating Disorders
-Improving Treatment Outcomes in Youth
-Executive Functioning and Reward
-Naturalistic Outcomes
-Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
-Social Media and Eating Disorders
-Exercise and Biobehavioral Markers in Eating Disorders
-Weight Change and Health in Youth with Eating Disorders

CHOP needs your help to continue to fund their programs, resulting in treatment programs providing success for patients like me. This is what we need to accomplish. In order to raise money for CHOP, I am working to obtain sponsors for my fundraiser, SOULRecover, a Soulcycle class benefitting the Eating Disorder Research Program at CHOP.

On behalf of SOULRecover, I am pleased to announce my second annual event. With great success, together we raised $6,500 for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Eating Disorder Research Fund. I am writing today with much gratitude of last year’s donation, in request for a donation to support this year’s event. Please let me know what information you need, and I would be happy to send it over.


Thank you so much for your time.
Best,
Lauren
