    If you don't feel like participating, would be amazing if you could spread the word, this is a documentarist project but also an activist one, since I'm asking people

    to release themselves from scales, and any help would be so much appreciated.

     

    Lots of love,

     

    Laia.

    This year, we are excited to host our 4th annual Mommy Doll and Me for Tea event, benefitting the MCR Foundation, with featured speaker: Lauren Alaina.  Lauren Alaina was runner up on Season 10 of American Idol, the most viewed finale in the franchise's history.  Her debut album, WILDFLOWER, sold over 300,000 units, and her hits "Like My Mother Does" and "Georgia Peaches" solidified her place as the female country voice of her generation.  Her warmth, enthusiasm, and humor continue to make her one of the format's most sought-after artists.  After touring with acts like Sugarland, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan, she is now at work on her second major label record due out in mid-2015.  In a world that emphasizes external beauty over internal beauty, Lauren is a perfect example of a young, successful woman who has been able to remain self-confident all while navigating the pressures of being in the limelight.  The issue of self-esteem and loving yourself in your own skin is close to her heart, and she will share first -hand what has helped her to remain grounded, and how we can help instill this in our daughters.  Please click on the Mommy Doll tab located at top of page for details on attending this year's event!

    MCR Foundation

    The Mary Cameron Robinson Foundation for the prevention of eating disorders was founded on May 25, 2006.The MCR foundation was inspired after losing Mary Cameron Robinson (Cammy), on September 2, 2005 to complications stemming from a 14 year battle with all 3 eating disorders.There are very few resources in the Chattanooga area that someone with an eating disorder can reach out to for help. We hope to change this. The main purpose of this foundation at this present time is to raise funds and begin educating the Greater Chattanooga Tri-State Area about eating disorders. We plan on targeting all age groups and both sexes so that we may begin putting educational programs into schools. Prevention through education and awareness is key. When knowledge of eating disorders is absent, there is no way to combat the problem at hand. Early Intervention increases treatment success. There is hope. The MCR Foundation is incorporated as a Tennessee non-profit and is a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization.
