Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking part in the Adidas Women's 5k Challenge in London on 11th September and hoping to raise lots of money for the Katie Piper Foundation.

Katie Piper is a beautiful young woman, rebuilding her life after surviving a brutal attack in 2008, where sulphuric acid was thrown in her face.

Katie spent seven weeks in the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, before starting a two year stint where she wore a special plastic pressure mask for 23 hours of every day. Prior to the attack, Katie was a model and budding TV presenter with a hectic social life and a glowing future in the public eye.  The attack ruined Katie from the inside out. Like many, she believed her life was over now that she was a ‘burns victim’.

The Katie Piper Foundation was set up to make a difference to burns survivors. The Foundation is ultimately working towards the delivery of an advanced rehabilitation and burns clinic in the UK. This will in time, include residential facilities for patients, enabling them to benefit fully from treatments and from social interaction with other survivors.

Any amount of money you can donate, no matter how big or small would be greatly appreciated and contribute towards Katie acheiving her vision.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
