Sylvia Mac had a life-changing accident when she was just two years old. Left with burn scars across her body, she spent the next 45 years covering up, dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts.
But then one moment changed her outlook, she told MyLondon : “There was one day about five years ago when we were at the pool and I noticed some guy trying to take a photo or video of me and my scars. I felt awful and I was ranting to my mum about it.
"I walked down to the water and I saw my mum's head hanging low and I could tell that it wasn’t just affecting me but had affected her as well and I decided enough is enough, I’m going to live my life and I don’t care what anyone else thinks.”
