London 2 Brighton 100km Walk
Fundraising for Cleft Lip And Palate Association
Story
We're walking 100km in (hopefully) 24 hours from London to Brighton in support of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association Great Ormond Street. This is the third time we've undertaken an endurance challenge but it is by far the biggest yet.
Since 1979, The Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA) has been the only national charity dedicated to all those with and affected by cleft lip and/or palate in the UK.
Around one in 700 babies are born with a cleft around the world. That’s over 1,000 babies born with a cleft each year in the UK!
CLAPA reaches out to families from the moment of diagnosis and help them through any difficulties they have before and after the birth of their child by providing a specialist feeding service as well as targeted information and a national network of trained volunteers providing one-to-one emotional support and local events and meet-ups. This first contact is the start of what CLAPA see as lifelong support of children born with a cleft and their families, from infancy through to adulthood.
We'd appreciate all of your support both in raising money for this fantastic charity and in getting us from the Capital to the coast.
