Story

Hey there! I'm Chiara, and I'm on an incredible journey in the freezing waters of Norway.

For the past 30 days, I've been swimming in cold water, facing my fears, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. But this challenge means so much more than a personal adventure— now it's about supporting a cause close to my heart: promoting positive body image and fighting against eating disorders.

I'm halfway through this 60-day challenge which I have been filming and posting daily on Youtube ,https://youtu.be/YodkYh80yXQ

I want to inspire others to join me in this fight, getting out of the comfort zone and make a difference. That's why I've decided to launch a fundraising campaign for an amazing organization that's at the forefront of preventing and supporting negative body image and eating disorders.

This organization works tirelessly to provide resources, education, and support to those affected by body image issues. They're creating a world where everyone can embrace their unique beauty and let go of unrealistic standards. They offer counseling, workshops, and community outreach, providing a safe space for healing and self-love.

By contributing to my fundraising campaign, you'll help the foundation expand its reach and make a bigger impact. Together, we can break the stigma and empower individuals to love themselves just the way they are.

Join me as I push my limits, challenge myself, and shatter stereotypes. Together, let's create a ripple effect of compassion, understanding, and support.

Let's make a difference, one cold dip at the time!
