I was thoroughly pleased to learn that my patient and friend Katie Piper had been asked to present the Channel 4 Alternative Christmas Message on the 25th December. Katie, whom I treated for burns reconstruction and operated on extensively following her acid attack in 2008, has endured so much pain and hardship in the past 18 months, but has faced these circumstances with incredible courage, determination, and the willingness to smile. These are qualities that should be shared with everyone in the Festive Season.
Please be sure to tune in to the broadcast on Christmas Day.
It was great to hear Katie do the alternative Christmas message this year. In an age of self-obsessed beauty her words need to be projected the world over ten fold!
ReplyDeleteI read about lots more girls like Katie from a charity called Acid Survivors Trust International. So many people unfortunatly go through the same tragedy, and it's happening in large numbers all over the world! I can't help imagining how many people like Katie are celebrating Christmas today.
Too them all, i hope you too one day will get the confidence you deserve.
