What has been said…

 

"The first time I saw this presentation you gave me hope, the second time I saw it you saved my life...thank you"

 

"I loved the presentation! I loved having someone take the time to show me the truth. I know this something I should not do! I play tennis and thought if I lost weight I would be faster and better. I realized it's not worth it to risk my life. Thank you for helping me so much!"

 

"Your presentation could not have been better, and yes it got through to me and some of my friends in that class. We've been talking about it with others in our school. I think you guys are amazing, and thank you for giving me the strength to tell my mother that I have been struggling with this for years."

 

“The presentation touched on things I was thinking about doing to myself. Now that I know what it would have done to me, I thank g-d I didn’t try it and after the presentation, I never will.”

 

“The speakers were very honest and open, and I felt comfortable being in the room. As a recovering anorexic and bulimic, I thank you for giving me hope in my continued recovery.”
