A UK blogger, author of Baking Free from Anorexia recently posted a blog entry beginning:

"Last week I did something I'd been meaning to do for a long time and that was donate a blood sample to Charlotte's Helix. I want to write this post to explain why I did it, how easy it was to do and maybe get you thinking about doing the same."

We are so grateful for this inspiring and comforting word from a study participant's point of view. Charlotte would be so pleased. Also, she would love some of your lovely cake!

Dr. Cynthia Bulik, the researcher behind the AN25K challenge, wrote on her blog yesterday about advocacy, genomics, and Charlotte's Helix.

Laura Collins, a founder of F.E.A.S.T. and a member of the Charlotte's Helix Steering Committee, was in attendance at the meeting Bulik discusses. She adds, "What an pleasure to see eating disorders take center stage at a meeting of mental health advocates like this. Seeing Charlotte Bevan's photo on the screen and her work discussed at NIMH was both moving and so very appropriate!"

F.E.A.S.T., an international parent group, featured Charlotte's Helix and AN25K at their annual conference January 31 & February 1.

A display table greeted conference-goers with information on Charlotte Bevan, the Helix project, ANGI, and AN25K.

Laura Collins, F.E.A.S.T. founder and Policy Director, gave a brief introduction to the Helix and spoke of Bevan's advocacy work at F.E.A.S.T. where she was a Board member and active volunteer.
Two members of the Board hosted an English tea on Friday afternoon to honor Bevan and her many friends shared memories and stories.

Charlotte's name was spoken often during the conference, where her passion for families and for science were celebrated and many resolved to support her legacy.

Charlotte's book, Throwing Starfish Across the Sea, was available and many quotes shared in the hallways and from the podium.
