Story
The Katie Piper Foundation was set up to make a difference to burns survivors.
Vision
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.
Thank you for taking 5mins out of your day to support this amazing charity and me in my 40th Birthday Challange; to walk across the Sahara Desert between the 10th - 18th MARCH 2012.
So here's the deal - next year is a big year for me as I will turn 40 in December 2012 & I felt that I needed a big adventure. So, instead of having a massive party, I decided after watching "My Beautiful Friends" on Channel 4 that I would like to do something for this amazing charity. The Katie Piper Foundation is a wonderful cause & I felt it was rather apt for me considering I am a professional make-up artist !!!!
Those of you who know me will realise that walking anywhere is not my first choice but for this challenge, I will be walking for 6 straight days through the Sahara Desert..........don't worry! I will be with 30 other adventurers all walking for their own fantastic causes.
So please, please, please donate your week's Starbucks money or your round of drinks in the pub. You will help make lots of burns victims so much more confident & happier in their uncomfortable skin and help motivate me to train for and complete this great challenge.
Wish me luck I'm off to the gym to work my butt off for the walk of a lifetime , http://www.katiepiperfoundation.org.uk/about/
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So please dig deep and donate now.
