Hi, I'm Ollie and this is Joe. Joe and I are looking to take on a very long walk from John o' Groats to Lands' end. This is no mean feat as it will be at least 900 miles! We both work hard and are dedicated to our jobs but, because the world is getting to be a bit of a crazy place, we decided to devote our time to causes we feel strongly about. The aim of this walk is to raise money for charities that mean a lot to us.
The charity I have chosen is operation smile. As someone born with a cleft this charity means a lot to me. It’s easy to take for granted the surgical care we have available. But for too many people safe surgery is not an option. Children born with cleft lip and palate in the developing world cannot access the surgery they desperately need for a healthy, happy future. Instead they face difficulty breathing, eating and speaking and are left to live in social isolation due to the stigma surrounding their condition. It costs as little as £150 and takes just 45 minutes to provide this life-changing surgery.Thank you for helping me raise smiles!
I'm sure everyone is feeling the squeeze from the cost-of-living crisis at the moment, we are too. This is why we’re going to hike, camp and trudge the mammoth walk and why I’m asking for us all to come together to donate, even just a little and do our bit to support these charities and everyone they help. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
