On Sunday 24th September at 12pm my brother and I, and my bravest friends (see My team mates) will be taking part in Lidl Mudder for the amazing charity, Microtia UK.

Abit about me and Microtia…
My name is Beatrice and I was born with unilateral Microtia affecting my left ear. This means my outer ear and ear canal did not develop properly, resulting in a ‘little’ ear and almost complete hearing loss on my left side. My Microtia means that I often have to work twice as hard in a lot of settings – from being at school; in the classroom or playground, to crowded shopping centres or other noisy environments, I can lose my spatial awareness quite easily and find certain loud sounds upsetting. For that reason, I wear a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) which helps me a lot.
About Microtia UK…
Microtia UK is a registered charity that is dedicated to providing support, information and resources to those affected by Microtia. Thanks to this support my parents were able to quickly understand my condition, the options in the future and as a result, avoid feeling overwhelmed. This allowed us to enjoy every moment of my early life and focus entirely on letting me become the gorgeous, funny, confident, kind, capable and intelligent 7 year old I am today! P.S. My mum wrote that last bit xx
