Hey I'm Charlotte an adaptive athlete from Manchester, Uk. I was born with a partial hand on my left side (lucky Fin). I grew up very shy about my hand always hiding it and never wanting to accept that I was different. It wasn't till I found my love for fitness that I began to truly accept my difference and see it as a positive part of me.

Having started CrossFit in 2019, I have built my confidence and ability one bit at a time, to achieving a top 5 finish in the upper extremity category, meaning I have qualified for a place at this year’s CrossFit games, the biggest CrossFit competition in the world.

This is the first year that adaptive athletes have had the chance to compete at the Games, in Madison, Wisconsin, and the opportunity to showcase what adaptive athletes are truly capable of in elite competition, but I need your help to get there.

The games is still quite a distance away without your help. We are hoping to raise the total of £5000 to cover flights, accomodation and local travel. I’m very grateful to anyone who makes a donation big or small.
