Hi

On October 10th, a team of 21 very mixed ability runners from B2net will be participating in the Royal Parks Half Marathon, London. I will be one of these mixed ability runners! I have never run a half marathon before, and despite doing a fair amount of training, a previous slipped disc means I will be taking the run fairly easy. Please be generous however and it will give me encouragement to push myself hard for this! 

We are raising money for CLEFT, a fairly new charity which is focused on research into the causes of cleft lip and palates and post-operative care and support. 

Cleft lip and palates can cause huge distress to patients and those who care for them and the charity aims to fund projects that improve techniques in alleviating and reducing suffering.  The charity raises money to fund projects at home and abroad, with varied objectives such as research into how and why clefts occur, how it affects speech and growth and purchasing essential medical equipment.
