Tough Mudder For Smiles: Tahoe

To demonstrate our commitment to helping children worldwide and raise awareness for this important cause, we will compete in a Tough Mudder event in Tahoe, CA on September 22nd to raise at least $20,000 for Operation Smile and children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities around the world. The funds we raise will provide medical supplies and resources that will allow Operation Smile's volunteers to provide free surgery and educational programs to children in need.

Together we can change lives:

Please help us reach our goal and provide hope to children around the world by donating to our team or an individual today. 

Your contributions are vital to Operation Smile's continuing efforts to change the lives of children born with cleft lips and palates.

Our Mudder:

Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. 

Our Tough Mudder, in Tahoe, CA, will come complete with obstacles referred to as the Arctic Enema, Electric Eeel, Fire Walker, Kiss of Mud, Everest, and Cliffhanger---or runs through fire, plunges into ice-cold water, wall climbs, ice-baths, sprints through dangling electrical wire, mud crawls under barbed wire, log hauls, and trench walks.  Stay tuned.
