Welcome to July, National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness and Prevention Month!
I will be doing several things this month to bring awareness to Clefts and Craniofacial issues.
This is the first of many posts.
Miles for Smiles
In June, I signed up to raise money for Operation Smile to help people around the world with cleft and craniofacial surgical needs.
How It Works
I have used the app, Charity Miles, for years to raise money for Operation Smile. They recently launched a new feature where you can do a challenge to raise additional money for your charity by getting sponsors. I walk, a sponsor from Charity Miles donates money, and now you can too.
If you’re interested, you can pledge here: Charity Miles Pledge Page
Why 240 Miles?
For my challenge I had to choose a mile goal, I choose 240 miles.
It costs Operation Smile, on average, $240 for each surgery. I choose 240 miles as 1 mile for each dollar needed to change 1 life.
How does Charity Miles do this?
I won’t rewrite what Charity Miles has already written, so here is their FAQ page.

You don’t need to donate money to support this initiative. Just read and share a post or video.
Thank you in advance for your support.
