Raising Awareness on Eating Disorders:
Flutters of Hope Keeps Growing!
Flutters of Hope was born just a few years ago because Cheryl Marron saw the immense need to raise awareness of Eating Disorders, a disease which has been hidden behind education, the lack of medica/mental health care, and insurance providers.
“ I know first hand the suffering an eating disorder in a family member or friend can cause. My daughter, Annalise, has had issues since she was a teen. Throughout the years I have met so many people with eating disorders or parents and friends who know someone with one. Along the way I have had the opportunity to hear their unique stories and can personally relate to their hardships regarding stress, guilt, shame, financial disruption, and want to bring awareness to our community on the topic. ” ~ Cheryl Marron
Flutters of Hope first began by providing custom ButterflyWish Baskets to people with the disorder and ButterflyWish Grants to help aid with medical/treatment bills. Now we have more than doubled our awareness efforts and services. In the next year we plan on providing even more education and formal training on the disease with presentations to teachers, students and our communities.
