In recognition of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW), the Alabama Network for Eating Disorders is bringing back our virtual candlelight vigil to honor all individuals whose lives have been touched by an eating disorder. Last year, nearly 100 candles were lit. These candles will be on display all week, from February 21 to 27, 2010.
If you are living in the Birmingham area, please attend the Candlelight Vigil being held on Wednesday, February 24, 2010.
