Dear friends and family,

I have decided to complete the Tough Mudder challenge while supporting Operation Smile and children around the world affected by cleft lip, cleft palate, and other facial deformities.

Why it is worth it?

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.

Operation Smile mobilizes a world of generous hearts to heal children’s smiles and transform lives across the globe.

Help me bring hope and new smiles to children suffering from facial deformities by supporting my fundraising goal. Wish me luck at Tough Mudder!
