The question at hand is whether she was able to fulfil this arduous goal, and the recent photos may hold the answer.

Katie Piper's miraculous evasion of permanent disability
Piper's career originated within the modeling industry. Successful photo sessions and beauty pageant participation opened the door for her career as a TV presenter.
An avid follower, drawn by her on-screen charm, contacted her via social media. A critical mistake, as it turns out. This man, Daniel Lynch, overstepped bounds as his communications began featuring escalating aggression. Bound by madness, Lynch kidnaps and assaults the then 25-year-old woman.
Incessant apology-laden emails and texts from Lynch followed. He requested a final meeting, assuring her of future non-interference. Piper compromised, only to be met with horrifyingly meticulous betrayal. In their meeting, she was attacked with sulfuric acid by a stooge hired by Lynch.
The severe burn led to the loss of sight in Piper's left eye. The corrosive substance massively disfigured her face, cleavage, and shoulders. Only by miraculous means did she survive...
