Join us for the 1st Annual NoBody is Perfect 5K run/walk on Saturday, July 28 at Darree Park, Dublin, OH. Our event supports the fight against eating disorders. It serves to spread awareness in our community about eating disorders as well as raises much-needed funds for research surrounding these mental illnesses. Our event includes a fun, family-friendly 3.1 mile course that you can run, walk, or even skip, including music, awards and more! The event is welcome to all ages.
Register by July 11 to be guaranteed an event shirt. Shirts are available on a first-come, first served basis on event day.
Why is This Event Important?
With the highest mortality rate of any other mental illness, it is estimated that 30 million individuals in the US will develop an eating disorder within their lifetime. They affect both men and women of all ages, all race and ethnicity groups and people of all income groups across the country.
For those suffering, eating disorders are not a trendy phase chosen by an individual based upon vanity. For many, it is not simply a choice at all. There are wide range of biological, physiological, psychological, social, emotional and behavioral factors that contribute to the development of an eating disorder.
Despite the fact that eating disorders are both dangerous and prevalent, research in this field is minuscule. It is our hope to change this. The money raised from this event will go to qualified leading researchers focused on all aspects of these mental illnesses- cause, treatment, long term effects, etc.
Additionally, it is our goal to spread awareness about eating disorders as well as promote positive self and body image. While the exact cause of eating disorders have not been directly identified, it is our belief at NoBody is Perfect, that promoting a positive image within ourselves and others is so important in this discussion. Statistics show that even as early as age 6, children can begin to express concerns about their own weight and shape, yet most public schools do not offer education about eating disorders or promote the importance of a positive body image. This exacerbates the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding eating disorders.
Together, we hope to inspire positive self image within the community while simultaneously spreading awareness about eating disorders and raising money for necessary research.

About NoBody is Perfect
Dear friends -
My name is Kaleigh Olmsted, founder and co-president of NoBody is Perfect. For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with self confidence and self acceptance- a conflict I think everyone can relate to. I worried, as I watched friends, teammates and seemingly flawless icons battle against eating disorders. As a pre-med major, I spent many hours wracking my brain to understand how or why these mental illnesses develop in people from all walks of life. After much investigative googling, it became apparent to me that there is not a vast amount of research surrounding eating disorders. This is due largely to the fact that funding for this research is extremely low. While eating disorders hold the record for the highest mortality rate out of any other mental illness, I found it to be upsetting and irresponsible that both funding and awareness were not being raised aggressively across America. Thus, in July of 2015, in a small, minimally air-conditioned summer dorm room at Notre Dame the idea for NoBody is Perfect was born.
Over the following two years and with the help of Notre Dame Women’s Soccer, I gathered my facts, created a website, designed a tshirt, raised funds for research, and spread awareness around eating disorders while promoting a positive self and body image across campus. Upon graduation, I was prepared to leave the project to two very capable former teammates when I received a special email from none other than Michael Kerins, co-president of NoBody is Perfect. I had been in touch with Mike for a little over a year after his 11 year old daughter caught wind of our small fundraiser. Even at her young age, Bailey was able to relate to the ideas that founded NoBody is Perfect and became a passionate advocate for our cause. Mike and Bailey opened my eyes to see that NoBody is Perfect could be so much more than a small fundraiser. It could be a movement. In becoming an official nonprofit organization, we hope to do just that.
Hope you come out on July 28 and support our inaugural 5k run/walk.
