The Hollies Bridlington is proud to be taking part in a skydive in aid of Microtia uk. 

We recently met with a little boy named Charlie who was born with Microtia and we were inspired by him, and his parents dedication to the charity. Therefore we are taking part in this skydive to raise some much needed funds for the charity, and to spread awareness of Microtia. 

Please give whatever you can. Every little really does help. 

Microtia (Greek for ‘little ear’) is a malformation or misshape of the external part of the ear (pinna) and can vary in severity from the ear being smaller than expected to varying degrees of absence of the outer ear. In some cases, a smaller or incomplete ear canal and/or hearing apparatus may be present or missing altogether (atresia). Microtia is frequently accompanied by atresia because the baby’s outer ear and the ear canal develop together during pregnancy.

Microtia is a rare condition affecting 1 in 6000 babies. It seems to affect more boys than girls and affects right ears more than left. Unilateral microtia (one ear) is more common, however approximately 1 in 10 children affected have bilateral microtia (both ears).
