Anorexic teen turn Pro Bodybuilder going to represent NZ at Worlds!!

Canterbury

Hi there, my names Amy. I'm starting a give a little page to help generate funds to represent New Zealand at the WFF worlds over in Mexico. This has been a dream of mine ever since I got into this sport. I have competed at 7 so far, my last earning my Pro-Card which was an amazing achievement.

I suffered from anorexia as a teen. This is a very misunderstood illness. I felt trapped, weak, ugly, depressed, anxious and many other emotions resulting in several years of treatment, hospitalization stays, and it was only when I was on my death bed in hospital, when my grandmother said to me "you cant die before me" that it really hit that that was exactly where I was going.

One bite at a time, day by day, I've grown through struggle to strength.

I want to be an example to anyone who suffers from eating disorders that you can become healthy, become strong, be proud of the skin you're in. And that anything is possible if you work hard to achieve your goals.

I would greatly appreciate support from you to help cover some of the costs to represent New Zealand at the WFF Worlds in Mexico this November.

We are all our own authors to Our Book of Life, please support me to write one hell of a story!

Use of funds

The funds will contribute to return flights and accommodation. If there's surplus, I'd love to get a new bikini made with our NZ colors.
