On the 30th September I will be running a marathon around Leeds in support of my friend and colleague, Rob Haughton. Running a marathon is a significant challenge for me, and will be my first time attempting even close to this distance.

Rob on the other hand will be running 7 marathons in 7 days, with the run on the 30th being his final. 

 

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. Many of these children are unable to receive the medical care they need because it is too costly, far away, or too specialized. Because of this, being born with a cleft condition can be fatal. If a child survives, they may face bullying and social isolation.
