Our campaign is meant to inform and help those prevent from falling into an eating disorder. Every person is made with their unique body size, type, and look. We need to embrace our image, or else no one will. Everyone is beautiful, and no one should suffer because of poor self-image.

Everyone can be a friend to those suffering, and help make a good role model to those who are slipping. Let everyone know they are beautiful. If everyone supported those who are affected, we can all survive today's society, making great choices and supporting those around us.
