SAULT STE. MARIE, ON (July 15, 2013) – Several hundred thousand Canadians suffer from an eating disorder, most of them in secret.

The non-profit organization is hosting a fundraising event later this month.

Hosted in partnership with Fit Bodies Fit Minds, the event will feature certified fitness-dance instructors, music and fun for the whole family.

Everyone is welcomed to attend.

Participants are asked to provide a $10 donation to Christy’s Light Foundation.

“The goal is to unite, celebrate our bodies, be positive and learn ways to convey this message to those around us,” said Jen Amadio, executive director of Christy’s Light Foundation. “It’s an opportunity for participants to be themselves and, most importantly, to have some fun.”

Meanwhile, current sponsors include: Fit Bodies Fit Minds, Best Start Hub, Sault Optometry Clinic, Jeannette’s Custom Cakes, and Marc Capancioni - Centum Mortgage Approval Centre.

Christy’s Light Foundation is named after Christy Aceti, who, at just 19-years-old, died following a three-year battle with an eating disorder in 2003.

The organization includes a group of community volunteers who work to provide education and support for people impacted – directly or indirectly – by disordered eating.
