The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and MentorCONNECT, the first global eating disorders nonprofit mentoring community are proud to present their 4th Annual Virtual Walk, a worldwide social media-based awareness and fundraising event supporting the NEDAwareness Week, February 23-March 1.

This interactive and innovative online event offers recovering persons, their loved ones and the greater community to “walk” using social networks to share eating disorder awareness information and their support for eating disorder recovery. The virtual walk format is open to all regardless of geographic location, medical restrictions or schedule obligations. Participation is as simple, easy and immediate.

Join in right now at http://nedawalk.org/virtualwalk2014

All funds raised support the nonprofit partners, NEDA and MentorCONNECT for their continued effort to provide recovery resources and support services to an ever-growing community of those impacted by an eating disorder.

NEDA and MentorCONNECT would like to recognize and thank the event corporate sponsors, Green Mountain at Fox Run and Center for Change. The generosity of these eating disorder treatment centers help to make this year’s Virtual Walk possible.

Make the choice to participate today! Whether you register as a “walker” or a donor, your involvement means a great deal for recovering persons and their loved ones everywhere.
