ACID ATTACK PROVIDES INSPIRATION

Charity campaigner, TV presenter and author Katie Piper, a former model, will be telling visitors to the upcoming office* exhibition the story of the horrific sulphuric acid attack in Golders Green, London 2008 that left her facially disfigured.

The two men responsible for the attack, a boyfriend she met through Facebook who raped and stabbed her, and his accomplice, are currently serving life sentences and the plucky 29-year-old has rebuilt her life, starting the Katie Piper Foundation for burns victims in 2009.

She is presenting a keynote session, Things Get Better, at the show at 1.00pm at Olympia on Wednesday October 9th.

Last week sulphuric acid was thrown by two men, believed to be Islamic fanatics, at two 18-year-old British girls working for a charity in a nursery school in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania, leaving them both very badly burned.
