Keeley’s Story
As soon as I was born I was whisked away from my parents...I had something “wrong” with my lip. My dad (who had himself been born with a cleft lip in 1955) asked if I had a cleft lip. The nurse nodded and my dad just asked if he could hold me. The nurse noticed my dad’s scars and realised he understood exactly what was going on.

Viktoria’s Story
I was bullied at primary school and the other students would tease me about my cleft, or ask lots of questions. As I got older, I learned not to take it personally and overcame other people’s reactions. I started to see it as curiosity as I became more comfortable in my own skin.

#FundraisingFriday: Kyle’s Fundraising Story
From Day 1 of finding out, at my partners 20 week scan, that our son had a cleft lip and possible pallet, CLAPA have been there to guide and support us through the unknown. As a family we could not thank the CLAPA team enough. That's why I decided, once my beautiful son was born, that it was time to give something back.
