I get stronger all the time

Corinne Cazeneuve, 33, from Hertfordshire In 2015, I had a horrific accident with a highly corrosive sinkunblocking liquid. It slipped out of my hands, tipped towards me and went all over my face and chin. I instantly felt like I was on fire, so rushed into the shower while my husband called an ambulance.

I had two skin grafts, which helped, but I’m still having laser treatment.

It’s hard having your appearance change overnight. You become a different person. I met Sylvia via her Facebook campaign – I used to love swimming, so asked if I could go to her sessions. The first time I panicked and ran out of the pool, but Sylvia chased after me into the cold, in her swimsuit and talked me back in. I’m so glad she did because those lessons and the people I’ve met have become a lifeline for me.

Taking part in this shoot wasn’t easy, but each time I step out of my comfort zone I get stronger. Being with those women made me see how we can be stronger, change the world and make it better.
