Eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia, have the highest mortality rate of all classified mental illnesses. Our mission at Ilona Memory Fund is to secure funding that will prevent and treat these terrible conditions through education, public policy change and community support. Through our events, and in partnership with other organizations, we educate those most deeply affected about the tragic consequences eating disorders have on individuals, their families and loved ones, effect changes in public policy, and provide resources to those in need. Our focus is on bringing together families with children in crisis by creating supportive networks and enlisting highly skilled professionals to provide medical and psychological intervention​.
