Following the successful reception of Paul Donald's experiences as a male who is a recovering Anorexia Nervosa sufferer, Paul was contacted by Medavia Media to run a story in the Scottish Daily Express to help promote MBEEDS (Scotland) and the dangers of eating disorders and 'thinspiration' websites on a national basis.
The article reflects greatly the experience as a whole which Paul encountered and does shine a brighter light on the impact of 'thinspiration' websites.
MBEEDS (Scotland) was still in its infancy at this time and the organisation was given promotion.

This article gave our charity lots of press. Although Mr Donald did not approve of the headline-grabbing title of the article, it did encourage males to seek help from their GP.

Katie Pathiaki investigates how Anorexia Nervosa and body image affects men and boys.
