"It was after your presentation that I realized I couldn't win, that I might die if I continued on my path ... now four and a half years later ... I am applying to medical school. I just wanted to thank you for spreading your message, and I wanted you to know that I may not have made it to where I am today if you hadn't come to Amherst to talk to the students." --Former Amherst College student

An investment of any amount will allow you to touch the minds and hearts of students, professionals and lay people across the Nation and beyond, through Andrea's Voice educational outreach efforts.

We are truly grateful to those of you who, via your contributions, allow us to continue to provide hope, support and resources to those who suffer with eating disorders and their loved ones.

Although this curriculum will provide revenue for the continuation of our outreach efforts, our hope is to also offer these tools, free of charge, to as many support group facilitators, nationwide, as we can. For this to be possible, we ask that you make an investment in this important and much-needed resource:

• $10 can pay for the production, packaging & mailing of one DVD
• $20 can provide a facilitator with material for two weeks
• $50 can provide facilitation tools for one month
• $100 can provide TWO facilitators the tools for a month
• $1,000 can launch the efforts of 20 facilitators for a month, supporting countless families during one of the most difficult times of their lives

• $ ? a contribution of any amount allows us to continue to provide support for those who suffer and their loved ones, advocate for ED prevention, work with local youth on body image issues, and educate others with the facts we wish we'd known prior to Andrea's death ...

On school and conference presentations:

"I just wanted to thank you for coming all the way across the country to speak at our school. It has sparked so many different conversations. Students are discussing it in their classes and questioning everything (a good thing). Faculty and staff are looking at how they think about food and how they have reacted around other students, even their own children. I can't tell you how many times I have had a faculty member come up and say, "Thank you for bringing them here." You have helped our campus a great deal." --Instructor at a prestigious eastern boarding school

" I am currently doing my residency in psychiatry ... I attended your presentation at the Renfrew Center Conference in Philadelphia. Your story was illuminating to me in many ways and has helped to fuel an interest in learning more about the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. In the few months since the conference, I have definitely noticed a change in the way I talk with my patients ... about eating disorders and body image." --Renfrew Conference attendee

On Educator's Workshops:

"[Your presentation] opened my eyes to the impact of the negative messages we give children about body image. I really learned a lot and was glad I could participate. I will use the information to shape my curriculum in my class and to support my students with body image issues." --Half-Day Educator's Workshop Attendee
