Light a Virtual Candle: NEDA Week


ALNEDA (The Alabama Network For Eating Disorders Awareness) 
is once again hosting their  
Virtual Candlelight Vigil 
 for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2011. 
You are invited to light a candle in honor of individuals 
who have had their lives touched by an eating disorder. 
Celebrate recovery or show support for those still struggling. 


The colors of the candles and what they represent are:

White: Remembrance ( for someone who has lost their life to an ED)

Silver: Support (for anyone struggling with an ED)

Gold: Celebration (for someone in recovery or who has recovered from an ED)
