“Cancer is what brings us together, but does not define us.”
Charlotte is also the cofounder of Whistle Words, an organization that helps women in and post cancer treatment to reclaim their sense of self. They conduct regular writing workshops in the Charlottesville community designed for women who have never written and those who have always written. A documentary film and anthology are also in the works from the writings of workshop participants.
