In 2004 Chris Lewis-Smith had cycling accident which required him to have extensive facial reconstructive surgery. “I hadn’t had time to put my hands out to break my fall,” Chris explained. “Instead I broke my jaw, smashed the bridge of nose, fractured my left eye socket, lost all my front top teeth and a lower front tooth.” Not one to stay down, he thought the best way to raise funds for Saving Faces was on his bike.
