Katie’s road has been anything but easy. In March 2008, her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch orchestrated the attack that changed her life forever, with accomplice Stefan Sylvestre throwing acid over her. Lynch is serving a life sentence with a minimum of 16 years, while Sylvestre was released on licence in 2018.
Instead of hiding, Katie bravely waived her right to anonymity and transformed her pain into purpose — using her voice to advocate for burn survivors worldwide.
