I should really remember where I first heard about Katie Piper, the girl who was attacked with acid in the street a few years ago and left with terrible scars which disfigured her for life. I can’t. I know it was some kind of documentary, but when I think back to that time I can only remember the shock of seeing the attack on TV. Rewound, over and over again, the attacker brazenly walking up to Katie in the street and destroying her beautiful face.
Except Katie is amazing. Yes for a while she was beaten, and yes for a while she was reclusive – as you would expect – but she came through it all to create The Katie Piper Foundation, a charity focused solely on helping those with facial disfigurements. To my mind, it’s incredible. She could have just sat back and let it beat her, but she didn’t, and for that she demands – and deserves – an enormous amount of respect.
Tackling the issue head-on, the foundation isn’t just something those with disfigurements should check out. There’s all kinds of useful info on there which will prove enlightening for anyone, especially those with no real knowledge or understanding of what it is like to be disfigured and to be so very different.
And don’t worry, there’s only one website for this, so you won’t need to update your Antivirus software! Just make sure you take a look, because afterwards you’ll be armed with all kinds of knowledge that you’ll wonder how you did without.
