Raising money for

Operation Smile United Kingdom

Charity Registration No. 1091316

Operation Smile U.K is a leading medical services charity dedicated to providing free reconstructive surgery to children with facial disfigurements in the developing world. Each year thousands of children are born with facial deformities, with the rate of incidence in developing countries at approximately one in 500. Without appropriate medical care, these children suffer both physical and emotional trauma - many have difficulty breathing, speaking and eating. Our philosophy is simple; Change children's lives forever through a simple operation. Since 1982, Operation Smile has changed the lives of over 117,000 children and young adults suffering from facial deformities. However, at Operation Smile we do so much more than just operations - our goal is to give our local partners the sustainable foundations including all the tools and training they need to continue treating children once the Operation Smile medical team has left.

My story

Our challenge is to drive a glorified tricycle approximately 4000 kilometres through Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay in a mere 14 days. You can learn more about us and follow our search for the lost city of Asuncion (but not really because it's the capital of Paraguay) on our team website right HERE.

All donations collected here will be going directly to Operation Smile and specifically to support projects in Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. The very same countries we will be charging (crawling?) through on our Junket through South America.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
