Restaurant owner Shah Ahmed came up with a truly novel way to support Saving Faces after his Mum was diagnosed with cancer.
In 2010, Lynda French suffered a terrible car accident which left her skull split in two and part of her brain missing.
The Association of Dental Practice Administrators Managers, ADAM for short, we will be supporting Facial Surgery Research Foundation – Saving Faces for the next 12 months and Saving Faces has been featured in two Newsletters.

Our Support Group really came about by accident! I had a 14 hour operation to remove cancer from the bottom jaw of my mouth which involved taking away my bottom teeth, underneath of my tongue, jaw bone and lymph glands followed by 6 weeks of radiotherapy.

If you have ever wanted to get involved in a 5km or 10km run, here is your chance. On Sunday 8th December at Victoria Park, London, around 3,000 ‘Santa’s’ are expected to take part, raising over £100,000! Saving Faces are looking for volunteers to take part and you can be part of this fantastic event with just a small registration fee (payable to Do it For Charity but paid in full to Saving Faces once the race is completed) and raising the suggested minimum sponsorship of £100.

Calling all running afficionados… Saving Faces has a number of guaranteed spaces for the Bupa London 10,000 run on the 27th of May 2012.

The sun was a surprise guest at the Saving Faces Sponsored Family Cycle Day on Saturday, the 3rd of September.

“For three years, she had to put up with cruel taunts because of a condition that left her with a bright red ‘clown nose’ just weeks after she was born”Connie’s “clown nose” was a benign tumour called a haemangioma, made up of a cluster of blood vessels growing abnormally under the skin. After being told that there was no cure, Connie’s mother sought out Saving Faces founder and chief executive, Prof Iain Hutchison. He spent two hours removing the tumour, to give Connie a nose “just like mum’s”.

The prestigious International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics has just published research on osteoradionecrosis carried out by Andrew Lyons, a Head and Neck Surgeon at Guy’s Hospital, which was funded by the Facial Surgery Research Foundation – Saving Faces.
