MONDAY 13TH MAY - UPDATE : WE DID IT!!! 

1 hour 12 minutes was our official race time, which we're so so proud of given it was our first 10k ever. The atmosphere was fantastic and we felt great, we were so motivated by all the support we've had from friends and family. 

You can still donate now so please, if you can, add some pennies to the pot in recognition of the massive effort we put in to honour the hard work the Katie Piper Foundation does. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! I am extremely excited about  this opportunity, and want to raise as much funds as possible for a charity that is very close to my heart...

The Katie Piper Foundation aims to:

• Progress intensive rehabilitation and scar management for burns survivors
• Provide information on and access to non-surgical treatments for burns and scars
• Campaign for consistent clinical care
• Develop a support network for people living with burns and scars

The Katie Piper Foundation helps people with burns and scars to reconnect with their lives and their communities, and would benefit greatly from your financial support! 

I understand what it's like to live with scars on a daily basis : I was seriously injured when I was a baby - boiling water left me with horrific burns that required an extensive stay in hospital, skin grafts, and constant scar and growth monitoring thoughout my childhood years. Now I want to help others going through a similar experience, as empathy, support, respect and kindness make such a massive difference to someone who will always feel 'different'. With your help, all donations will make such a direct positive difference to people's lives.

Here's Katie's website - have a look at the amazing work being done - http://www.katiepiperfoundation.org.uk/
