Spread the Word
“I want to do everything I can to help raise awareness so that other parents won’t feel as lonely and unsure as I did.”
Public ignorance about cleft lip and palate is a huge challenge facing tens of thousands of people born with a cleft in the United Kingdom. Awareness Week is a chance to make ignorance of cleft a thing of the past.
Help us spread the word, share your story with #CleftAware this May, and remember – the smallest act, like clicking ‘share’ or even liking a post, can have a big impact!
