IT is the one way Chloe Wright can think of to show her desperately ill sister how much she cares.
Tomorrow the 17-year-old will set off on a charity walk to raise awareness of eating disorders, after witnessing their devastating effects first hand.
Her younger sister Nichola has spent much of the last two years in hospital after falling under the grip of anorexia. The eating disorder makes people anxious about their weight. They keep it as low as possible by strictly controlling and limiting what they eat.
At her lowest point this summer, 15-year-old Nichola was thought to be just weeks from death after she starved herself for almost two weeks and weighed less than five stone.
To donate or for information on eating disorders, visit b-eat.co.uk or call 0845 634 1414.
