Katie Piper, 30, is one of the most inspirational people we know - but now the model, author and campaigner needs our help.

Taking to Twitter, Katie wrote: "So I really need your help on something!"

The new mum, who gave birth to baby daughter Belle Elizabeth earlier this year, then went on to explain that she has just 10 days to reach a fundraising target.

She said: "I know we all get lots of charity tweets but I am fundraising for a workshop and have 10 days to reach my target!

"Would really appreciate if you guys could RT and donate to my page http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/KatiePiper1 Thank you!"

Unsurprisingly Katie's fundraising page saw a surge in donations after that tweet, with followers and fans digging deep to help the inspirational campaigner.

Later that night, Katie thanked everyone for their help, writing: "Thank you to every one who has donated to my page. I'm getting near my target."

Over on her fundraising page, Katie explains exactly what she needs the money for - and it's a very worthy cause.

She wrote: "I am fundraising for a weekend away of workshops and activities for The Katie Piper Foundation.

"The Katie Piper Foundation consists of an energetic and dedicated team of people with the vision to make it easier to live with burns and scars."
