Hello,

I’ve been involved with CLAPA for a number of years now and I love this charity so much because I was born with a Cleft Palate myself (pierre robin sequence). I feel I like to give back as I know how hard it can be and what great support CLAPA can provide. Last year I ran the London 10K for CLAPA and have volunteered on the Summer Camps.

I just wanted to ask if you would very kindly help me with my dissertation as I’m struggling to recruit people to do the questionnaire - it only takes 10 minutes but looks long at the start!

I’m studying Speech & Language therapy and just in my final year now. I’ve decided to do my dissertation project looking at the Quality of Life of people who have a Cleft Lip. If any of you know anybody aged 18-25 with a Cleft Lip (or you yourself) who you think wouldn’t mind doing an online 10 minute questionnaire, I’d be so grateful if you could send me an email kat_krs@hotmail.co.uk or pass it on to that person, and I can then send the link to the questionnaire.

Thank you so much in advance, I really do appreciate it.

Katherine.
