In the 1980s, Mr. Simon founded Help Anorexia and Bulimia Inc. to create an educational referral organization that would go to hospitals and help people struggling with eating disorders.

Another of his significant accomplishments was at the UCLA Psychiatric Department, where he fought their policy of making people with eating disorders stay in their rooms, successfully overturning the policy for patients affected with anorexia nervosa. In the coming years, he aims to continue his involvement with the Rotary Club and help recruit new members, while continuing to spread awareness with his organization.
