The
Butterfly Foundation
The
Butterfly Foundation was founded in August 2002
by Claire Vickery who found many 'gaps' in the
public health system for those suffering from
eating disorders. The Foundation is a community
based charitable organisation that supports eating
disorder sufferers and their carers through direct
financial relief, advocacy and lobbying, awareness
campaigns, health promotion and early intervention
work and professional training in primary and
secondary schools.
The
granting of tax deductible status as a Public
Benevolent Institution by the Australian Tax Office
in January 2003 illustrates the increasing awareness
within the community that eating disorders are
a growing problem affecting people of all ages,
gender, and across society in need of urgent reform.

Blonde's biggest loser, By Ros Reines - 11th May

The
latest supremely fit couple on the social circuit
is none other than The Biggest Loser trainer,
Shannan Ponton and bikini model Jaime Wright.
"It's really early days though," Wright
cautioned.
"We're
just hanging out and enjoying each other's company.
He is a lovely man and this is something rare
on the Sydney social circuit.''
The
two were outed at the recent launch of the Underbelly
DVD and then they next embarked on a shopping
expedition together, with Wright helping her man
find an outfit suitable for the Logies.
"I
had hoped that Shannan would help me with an event
I am holding on Wednesday,'' said Wright, who
rose to fame when Paris Hilton made her the face
of Bondi Blonde beer.
"But
unfortunately he has to go to Bali next week.''
This
is a bad move for Ponton, who will not be helping
Wright celebrate her 28th birthday at the Butterfly
Foundation charity event that she is holding at
Ravesis to raise public awareness of eating disorders.
Among
those reportedly supporting the sometime shoe
queen on the night are Gracie Otto, Jordan Loukas,
Mark Goldman and Jason Dundas.
Let's
hope that Shannon returns from Bali with a pretty
good birthday gift to make up for his glaring
absence.
