Transition Stages – Research
My name is Katharine and I am a PhD student at Kingston Uni. I am currently running a research study about resilience for children who look different because of a cleft lip or palate, and who are beginning secondary school in September 2017. My interest in research developed because of my work with children in education. I hope that this research will enhance our understanding of some of the challenges a child faces, especially starting secondary school. and promote self-worth.

#FundraisingFriday – Zidane’s First Birthday!
Zidane was diagnosed with a unilateral complete cleft lip and palate during our 16 week gender scan when we found out we were having a boy. It was a lot to take in, learning he would have to endure numerous operations until roughly the age of 18. However, once the initial shock settled we were just excited to meet our beautiful boy and welcomed the challenges that would come with him (cleft or no cleft!!).

#FundraisingFriday – Leon
We sent him a certificate and his mum got in touch: "He was thrilled and took it to show his teacher and head teacher. He ended up with his own little piece in the school's newsletter. He has even asked if he can take it to hospital with him to show his surgeon when he has his gum notch repaired!" She also sent us a fab picture of Leon with his certificate!
