CLAIRE

Hi, my name is Claire, I am currently in school at UNO, I am a personal trainer, and I’ve been in recovery from the eating disorder for 3 years. A life of recovery never seemed possible to me, but from the help of others and being able to ask for help when I need it, I can confidently say that choosing recovery has been the best choice I have made. Recovery has given me many things it has allowed me to regain relationships with family and friends, it’s allowed me opportunities I never thought I would have, and it ultimately gave me my life back.

ZACH

Hi! I'm Zach, a current second-year physical therapy student, and current athletic trainer at UNMC here in Omaha! I am 27 years old. While it may seem like my life is in order, it wasn't always that way as I struggled with anorexia 4 years; getting better at times and then falling back into a relapse of some sort. But I'm proud to say that after seeking treatment, I've overcome mountains I never thought could be moved, trenches I never thought I could cross, and I've found myself once again.
