As most of you know, CLAPA is so close to our hearts. Our daughter Mabel was born with a cleft palate and she also has Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS).

CLAPA have supported us so much since Mabel was born, providing us with lots of information and knowledge when Mabel was first born and we were very scared about her medical condition. After our amazing fundraiser last year we are fundraising again for CLAPA this year in their awareness week 💙

Mabel has come such a long way since having her cleft palate repair surgery, but continues to have challenges around her hearing and speech and language development. CLAPA have supported us throughout our journey and continue to offer speech and language support as well as emotional support to us. We want to help them raise awareness and money so they can support many other families like us.

Three babies are born with a cleft lip and/or palate every day in the UK, and they face a 20-year treatment pathway which can continue well into adulthood. CLAPA receive no NHS or government funding and rely on donations to continue our vital work.

If you are able to donate anything atall, we would be so grateful.

Thank you, Abbie & Alex 💙
