Dr. Brace's Mission To Ukraine
Dr. Brace's Mission To Ukraine
In 2023, Dr. Brace was approached by the founder of the Face The Future Foundation to be a part of a mission helping the victims of war-torn Ukraine. Face The Future Foundation is a humanitarian group that has delivered life-saving and life-changing plastic reconstructive surgery to those in need since 1996.

Dr. Brace graciously accepted the invitation, to deliver reconstructive surgery to both soldiers and civilians seriously injured by the war. This life-changing experience is one that both Dr. Brace and those he treated will never forget. Read the full story here:

Beauty for Hope
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers globally, affecting millions of people each year. While it primarily impacts women, it can also affect men, though at a much lower rate. The American Cancer Society estimates that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
In 2020, Dr. Brace opened his doors for a specific clinic day called ‘Dysport to Show Support’ to administer cosmetic neuromodulator treatments. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this day were donated to breast cancer research at Grand River Hospital with a total tally of $3,000. Fast forward to 2024, and we are so proud to have just completed our 2nd annual Beauty for Hope campaign. Together, our support made it possible to fund the equipment, tools, and resources the Grand River team needs to continually provide exceptional care, helping keep cancer care close to home for all who need it.
We have seen such an amazing community impact through this fundraiser. We want to extend our deep gratitude to the following clinics for taking part in Beauty for Hope 2024: Guelph Facial Plastics, ArtMed, AFYA, Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, Juice Med Spa and Brain & Body Co. Together, we raised $18, 685.80.
Beauty for Hope will return bigger and better than even in 2025 and we would love your support.
