Charity
CLAPA is a support organisation for all those with and affected by cleft lip and palate. One in 700 children are born with this condition - about 1,000 a year in the UK. CLAPA provides information, advice and one to one support through its national network of branches. It also runs confidence-building camps for children and distributes bottles and teats for babies born with cleft lip and palate.

Rachel Mortimer's fundraising page
Hello everyone. Having managed to complete a half-marathon without dying I thought that it would be fun to enter the London Marathon! I applied on line and banked on the fact that my chances of getting accepted were slim - how wrong I was....
So here I am trying to train for a full marathon - strangely enough I had never thought about the fact that a marathon is twice as long as a half-marathon!
I have decided that any money raised from my efforts should go to CLAPA. Without CLAPA my son Joe would have had a much more uncertain start in life. CLAPA provided vital advice and more importantly suitable feeding equipment for Joe, who was born with a cleft palate.
Please support me in this event so that CLAPA can continue to help families and support children born with cleft lips and palates. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
