One of the stipulations to compete in this race and participate in this adventure is that we need to raise 1000 British pounds solely for charity. There is also a 750 pound entrance fee which we have already paid in full, as well as our plane tickets to Peru and from Paraguay. We're hoping that you, our friends, can help donate towards the charity section, because if you don't, we have to. So think of it as helping others, but if you don't like other people and only like us, think of it as helping us because it is. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Since 1982 Operation Smile has changed over 130,000 children’s lives, forever. Working in 42 countries in the developing world providing free reconstructive surgery for children & young adults with facial deformities, predominantly cleft lips and cleft palates. We have over 5,000 highly skilled medical volunteers and we provide all the equipment, training and surgical supplies to ensure every patient we treat, receives the highest standard of care and on-going aftercare that is needed when correcting facial deformities.
Clefts are the 3rd most common birth defect worldwide and it is estimated that every 2½ minutes a child is born with this deformity. In the UK, a baby with a cleft will have it repaired in the first year of it’s life, however, in the developing world at least 75% of all cases will go untreated and for those who survive, many will live a lifetime of shame and isolation. Clefts hamper breathing, eating, drinking and speaking and many children do not go to school because they are ridiculed and teased, far reducing their opportunities and development for the future. However, in just 45 minutes and for as little as £150, Operation Smile can change a child's life, forever.
