Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are aiming to raise money for The Smile Train, a charity that we support, who help give children in developing countries the chance of a normal life by providing the reconstructive surgery for the cleft lip or palate (or both) that they were born with.

The great thing is it only takes a mere £150 to pay for one child to have the operation to help them smile again and avoid a potential lifetime of rejection by their community.

You don't have to donate just because Ben ran the Reading half marathon in 1hr 35mins and 2secs. Please just give money to help other children smile! We know that money is a bit tight for a few people but even a small dontation helps. Dig deep and donate now, no matter the amount.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
