I became the driving force of Cleft Connect Australia with the view to helping other cleft affected families. You don't go into a 20 week scan for you second born child with anything but an expectation of good news. The moment that my doctor told me that my unborn son had a gap in its face, and was missing some of his gum & lip, I knew my life would never be the same.
My role within CCA is to help raise funds for the charity and for the hands that we hold, and to boost awareness. When I watched my daughter and son-in-law going through the birth of their son who had a cleft lip & palate, and the trials and tribulations that followed, I knew something had to be done to help other families.
My role in CCA is to be the person you can turn to for support. I’m here if you need to chat or want some advice. Because I have been in your shoes and understand how you are feeling please feel free to ask me anything. If I don’t know I am a bit of a tiger and will find out for you.
