Katie Price to launch own charity Katie Price

Model Katie Price, who received negative publicity after splitting from husband singer Peter Andre, will launch her own charity organisation to improve her image.

Price was shocked by the negative press she received and wants to change her ways. She is especially hurt by being made to look like a villain in the split, mirror.co.uk reports.

Her foundation will help disabled children to enjoy a better life. Price's son Harvey was born part-blind.

A source close to Price said: "Harvey's condition has caused her years of pain and she understands the struggle parents go through with a disabled child. She wants to help other parents like her who are less fortunate."
