Hi, I'm Charlotte. In May 2026 I’m taking on the Southampton marathon to raise money and awareness for Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity.

Eating disorders affect so many people, often silently, due to stigma. Around 1.25 million people in the UK have an eating disorder, and countless more are affected as family members, friends, or carers. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, yet with the right support, recovery is possible.

Beat provides life-changing help through their helplines, online groups, and training, ensuring no one has to face these illnesses alone.

There is lot of sigma around eating disorders especially around men this leads to people suffering in silence. By raising awareness, it will break that silence and encourage more people to seek help without fear or shame and start recovery sooner.

I’m aiming to raise as much money for Beat as possible, and every donation will make a real difference. Your support could help fund a call to Beat’s helpline, provide expert advice to a worried parent, or give someone the courage to reach out for help for the first time. Beat has made a real difference in my life, and I’ve seen the incredible impact they’ve had on so many others too.

Together, we can make sure that no one faces an eating disorder alone.

Thank you so much for your support
