New Ambassador for RAFT

Posted 19/08/10

'I'm Peter Gordon, the executive chef and co owner of The Providores and Tapa Room in Marylebone, and I'm thrilled to be acting as an ambassador for RAFT.

 Whilst embarking on an early culinary journey aged seven, I severely burnt myself when I accidentally tipped a deep-fryer full of boiling fat onto my body. I am therefore very aware of how skin disfigurement can affect peoples' lives, and how important and often life-changing the work RAFT does really is. 

Improving the lives of people who have suffered injuries or disfigurement, along with invaluable research into skin cancer and ways in which to prevent it, are key to what RAFT is all about.  I really think it is important that people become more aware of how profoundly lives can be affected by skin disfiguring illnesses and accidents, and the ways in which they can help.'
