Beacon Search is proud to continue its support of Operation Smile’s vision to create a world where no child suffers from lack of access to simple and safe cleft lip/pallet surgical care.

This year we’re taking on a massive (for me) 15-day challenge in early September 2023 and aiming to cycle solo (with friends joining in part) around the perimeter of Ireland. The route will be over 2100km with an average distance of 160km/100 miles a day starting and finishing at the Operation Smile offices in Dublin on World Smile Day October 6th, 2023. We’re kick starting the fundraising in May at the Ride London 100 Mile event.

We have some friends contributing along the way so a huge thanks to those helping us to reach our target!

You can follow my training and the ride/route itself via the following platforms:

Beacon Search has donated £6,200 since the start of their partnership with Operation Smile and created 41 new smiles so far. This year we’re aiming to raise £15,000, enough to fund 100 surgeries in the developing world. If you can spare anything, please head over to:
