VIP Treatments for the Fab four
Using her high-profile pulling power in the beauty industry, Karen enlisted the help of a range of leading brands, who joined forces with Karen’s own team to give the ‘gift of confidence’ to the four deserving VIPs of all the nominations received. The ‘Fab Four’ were invited to the Sanderson Hotel in London for a delicious breakfast, followed by top-to-toe pampering, with bespoke treatments tailored to each VIPs needs. That included anything from massages to hair-restoration services like wig-fitting and eyebrow microblading. No expense was spared in helping these truly inspirational people feel wonderful!

The following months saw Diana undergo daily chemo or radiotherapy appointments plus surgery to remove the cancer and lymph.
