It is easy to take for granted the surgical care we have available. But for too many people safe surgery is not an option. Children born with cleft lip and palate in the developing world cannot access the surgery they desperately need for a healthy, happy future. Instead they face difficulty breathing, eating and speaking and are left to live in social isolation due to the stigma surrounding their condition.

It costs as little as £150 and takes just 45 minutes to provide this life-changing surgery. I will go through the embarrassment of having my beard shaved off for the first time in 5 years to raise awareness and funds for this amazing charity.
