Mackenzie Wrench:"...it didn't define me."
from Beyond The Lines Hosted by ECU Campus Recreation & Wellness
At a young age, Mackenzie was diagnosed with an eating disorder. This later affected her high school as she spent time in an in-patient treatment facility learning how to love herself again. She shares about her experiences in treatment and post-treatment and how she managed to not just get through college but thrive. She is an advocate for beating the stigma that society puts around eating disorders. National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is February 24th - March 1st so we wanted to shed light on this topic that is not commonly talked about on college campuses.
