Charlotte Lindley

I was born in 1951 in Midland, Tx. I lived in a happy, stable home with little dram where attending college was a given. Being active has been a big part of my identity. I started running races, cycling, skating and riding my stick horse as a young child. Even though my academic measures were high, the majority of my praise came through running. I have been running marathons for 45 years. I started adventure racing in 2000 and ultra running in 2007. Outside of my family, my closest friendships were born in sport. Team Suicide Prevention’s Crew Chief, Dennis Crosby, was an Adventure Racing teammate and has been my ultra distance buddy since 2000. Bill Taitano has been my partner in life since 2013. Bill and I connected on our extreme passion for sport, me for running and Bill for cycling. Bill has crewed for Dennis and I many times on 100 mile runs. It is our turn to step up and help get Team Suicide Prevention across the finish line.
