The Attack That Changed Everything: Katie Piper

At just 24 years old, Katie’s life was forever altered by a horrifying acid attack orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch. In March 2008, Lynch conspired with an accomplice, Stefan Sylvestre, to carry out the attack on a London street.

The attack caused devastating injuries, particularly to her face and eyes. “He failed to take my beauty from me because beauty is deeper than skin,” Katie has said in the past. Her words have resonated with many, inspiring a movement of self-love and inner strength.

The physical damage led to years of surgeries—over 400 procedures to date—and a long, painful journey toward recovery.
