<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As part of the <span style="color: red;">‘I Am Ethicon’ campaign</span> which has been running throughout 2011, Ethicon has partnered with a charity, <span style="color: #0070c0;">Operation Smile</span> and has been involved in various fundraising events throughout the year. <strong></strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As part of the campaign the Acclarent UK team will be taking part in an event called <span style="color: red;">Walking for ‘S’ miles</span> which will see the team walking through London Central collecting donations at each of London’s landmarks on 1st December 2011.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;">Too many children are born with a severe cleft condition each year and in many places, these children are avoided, spurned and ignored.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately, it is all too often that their parents cannot afford to pay for the much-needed surgeries to repair the condition so these children can live normal, healthy and happy lives.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are 4,000 medical volunteers working for Operation Smile in developing countries across the world, performing operations that take as little as 45 minutes but make the difference from a child shying away at home to be out playing with their friends with a beaming smile on their face. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: small;">But Operation Smile needs funds and with your donations they will be able to continue their amazing work.</span></span></p>
