MEDA’s 2026 Annual Breakfast, The Stories We Carry, Voices of Courage, will take place on Friday, November 6, from 7:30–9:00 a.m. at the Boston Marriott Newton. This year’s featured speakers are acclaimed author and advocate Mallary Tenore Tarpley and professional boxer and mental health advocate Danny O’Connor. Through their personal stories, they will offer powerful perspectives on eating disorders, mental health, resilience, and recovery.
The breakfast brings together community members, professionals, families, and advocates to reduce stigma and ensure that people affected by eating disorders know they are not alone. Proceeds support MEDA’s outpatient clinical services, treatment scholarships, free support groups, care navigation, educational programs, and advocacy efforts.
