The township of Millburn/Short Hills is a very popular location for potential new home owners who are also parents. Potential new home owners with children are often interested in investing in real estate in the township of Millburn/Short Hills because they want their children to be surrounded by other intelligent, motivated and conscientious young people. The township of Millburn/Short Hills is well known for having intelligent, active and caring youth. An example of a Millburn high school student fitting this description is Danielle Alonzi. Alzoni organized a walk for the National Eating Disorders Association that was held on May 24, 2009 at the Millburn High School outdoor track. Specialists from NEDA (www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/) were on site to answer questions about eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia. They advised participants about how to recognize an eating disorder, when and how it is appropriate for friends and family members to intervene and try to help. In addition they also provided information about what treatment options are available for individuals suffering from eating disorders, and the ideal ways to bring treatment and help to people seeking assistance. As the weather gets warmer, the pressure to look thin increases and some people’s diets can get extremely out of hand. People with eating disorders often present with body dysmorphia, which is a lack of understanding of how their bodies appear to the outside world. They think they look overweight when in fact they are too thin to be healthy. If you are interested in sponsoring someone participating in a NEDA walk, you can visit: www.njnedawalk.com. Students like Alzoni are what make the township of Millburn/Short Hills unique—and especially attractive to potential property investors.
