This was in 16 weeks! “Before I found this health coaching program and the help of Sam, my life was a constant up and down. I had struggled with my weight almost my whole life it seemed and then once I became a mom of two...it only got worse. Just when I began to lose hope, I decided to try another path. And I’m so glad I did because not only did I go from over 200 lbs to my current 132 lbs...I’m now doing things I’ve never done before like running, cooking healthy foods for my family and being a fun energetic mom who plays with her kids! I no longer feel like the mom who has to sit on the side lines watching...I’m in the game playing!” — Blythe

Our mission is to raise funds to provide necessities for children in need of cleft palate reconstructive surgeries. We donate 100% of proceeds to the David Hoffman Memorial Fund, a foundation set up by the Cleft Team to provide funds for expenses for patients and families. These expenses may include cleft palate reconstructive procedures, dental implants, money for gas, hotels, picnics (patients are given the opportunity to meet other children with cleft palates), teen lunches (lunches specifically for teen cleft palate patients), and other costs suggested by the Cleft Team.
Check out our website: to read more about us, buy a t-shirt, or donate! You can also follow us on Twitter @cleftforacause for updates and other information.
