Biker crew grants bullied girl's prom wish
Updated | By The Workzone with Barney Simon
Over 100 members of Bikers Against Bullies in County Durham, North East England pulled together to help 16-year-old Chloe Robson make the grand entrance of her dreams at her school's prom.
Any young person who has had the misfortune of being bullied can tell you: teenagers can be cruel.
For 16-year-old Chloe Robson from County Durham in North East England, bullying is something that has been present in her life for over nine years. Chloe has been victimised for her looks and for the way that she talks, and often felt left out and alone, but was afraid to reach out and talk about it.
Fortunately, Chloe's uncle, Grant Robson, saw what his niece was going through and decided to do something to help. Along with his group Bikers Against Bullies, Grant organised a showstopping escort for Chloe on the day of her prom at her school in Chester-le-Street.

Parents and children gathered outside the venue and watched as the convoy of bikes flanked the car that Chloe, all made up for the big evening, arrived in.
Grant, who himself was a victim of bullying, often does rides like this with Bikers Against Bullying to "inspire and encourage kids who are bullied".
Chloe said the moment was "indescribable".
