Charlotte suffered sexual abuse as a child and began to self medicate. She developed an eating disorder, while also smoking and drinking quite heavily. In 2012 her mom died and her husband left her. She struggled for few years abusing booze and food, until finally moving in with her dad in 2014. She felt like a complete failure. Then one day, her Dad invited her on a walk, and she realized how much better she felt afterwards. She began walking and going to the gym, and soon began running. She's now run 9 fulls, over 20 halfs, and has been sober since June 2017.
