For four years Hope Virgo fought a gruelling internal battle, keeping her anorexia hidden from friends and family. Having pushed her health to breaking point, and with her skin turning yellow and her heart failing, it became impossible to hide. Barely recognisable, she was admitted to a mental health hospital in 2007.
Twelve years on, Hope has been in recovery from anorexia for over a decade. But is hasn't always been an easy ride, and after a relapse in 2016 where she was refused help for "not being thin enough", she knew she needed to raise awareness about the disease that almost took her life.
And so in August 2018 Hope launched the #DumpTheScales campaign, which calls on the government to review their guidance on support for eating disorders. Since then, with relentless campaigning, her petition has gained over 70,000 signatures and counting.
Stand Tall Little Girl is the inspiring account of how Hope fought back from rock bottom, built a healthy life for herself, and used her story to effect real change for others suffering from the same devastating condition.

Hope now lives and works in London, runs marathons and has a keen interest in exercise and maintaining good mental health. She is in a whole new place, taking each day as it comes and living life to its fullest.
