Families Supporting Families
Cody Walsh - A Story of Hope
When Steve and Gayle Walsh learned their 13-year-old son, Cody, was diagnosed with anorexia, they turned to EDCT for help. Soon after, they began attending the Families Supporting Families meetings in Nashville. This is Cody's story -- a story of hope.
