The walk is to make more people aware of eating disorders. There are thousand of young people, some as young as 6 years old, starving themselves. There is only one doctor in South Carolina that treats this disorder and his clinic is in Columbia. We are trying to get the word out that these young people need help from the medical community as well as the general public. If you know some one that has an eating disorder please go to the National Eating Disorder Association
web sight and read about how they are trying to help these young people.
