On 28 August 201, a group including Roger Fitzsimons, Louise Fitzsimons and Robbie Bloomfield from Hillcrest, will take part in the Victoria Falls Marathon to raise money for Miles for Smiles.
The charity raises funds to perform corrective surgery on children born with cleft lips and palates. For every R5 500 donated to Operation Smile South Africa a team of exceptional surgeons can facilitate corrective facial surgery on a child and give them their God-given right to a smile. With a simple operation of some 45 minutes a child’s life can be changed forever.
This is particularly poignant for the Fitzsimons, as their oldest son needed a major craniofacial operation when he was just four months old.
