Miss Piper is a 21st Century Hero, a pioneer for encouraging others to find courage, and a real winner.

I first knew of Katie from watching her Channel 4 Documentary 'Katie: My Beautiful Face'. Not knowing the emotional roller-coaster I would embark on by pressing the play button, I learnt how Katie, an aspiring presenter and model, was horrifically assaulted by her ex-boyfriend who then had her face drenched in acid. But the purpose of the programme was not to make us all simply feel sad for her situation post-incident. Katie went through something terrible. But she survived. She dealt with it. And she fought back. The programme tracks several main themes, from hurt to healing, judgement to justice, and from fear to fearlessness.
These days Katie runs her charity The Katie Piper Foundation. KPF offers emotional as well as physical rebuilding to anyone who suffers from burns or scars.
A true victor.
