Campaign idea: Meet Chloe
After surviving childhood abuse and rebuilding her life, Chloe is taking on a five-kilometre open-water swim.
This story
Chloe turned to a specialist support service while struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, self-harm and night terrors stemming from abuse she suffered as a child. Through two periods of therapy, she processed her memories, reclaimed control and removed her abuser from her life. She signed up for the Great North Swim to support the organisation that helped save her.
