The Longest Match

‘Eating disorders.’

After all, doesn’t age immunize women from the body image, weight concerns and eating disorders that plague the younger years?

These are serious, life threatening and heartbreaking illnesses at any age. This story needs to be told and Betsy Brenner does just that.
