Our son Haydn was born on 8th February 2011 with a 'Unilateral Incomplete Cleft Lip', he was a healthy happy boy. It did come as a shock to us that he had a cleft lip but we needed reassurance and support as we knew nothing about Cleft Lips. CLAPA was there to reassure us through their fantastic website and users who share success stories and pictures. We were reassured immediately.

The Sponsored Cycle Ride will take place from Nottingham, where our son had his repair operation in August 2011 to his hometown of Mablethorpe, where he was born (in an ambulance by side of road!). This will be a 100 mile cycle in 1 day.
