Face Forward's mission is to provide emotional support and reconstructive surgery for women, children and men who have been victims of Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking or any Cruel Acts of Crime. We treat patients from all around the globe providing a complete care package of services.

Story

In 2014 Andreas Christopheros was doused in sulphuric acid in his home in a case of mistaken identity. Since then he has a multiple surgeries and received help from the amazing charity Face Forward. 

Face Forward are a charity based in the U.S who help victims of domestic violence, human trafficking and cruel acts of crime. They give help to men, women and children. If you want to know more about them  I have posted a link below as well as some other links that tell you about Andreas’s story.

They have helped Andreas physically and emotionally and he now feels he's in a position to give back to them. He is now the UK Ambassador for the charity. Andreas, Tom and I have joined forces to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise money for this great cause. 

I have done a half marathon once before, a very long time ago and swore I would never do one again but this cause has inspired me to try again! Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you all!
