About the Hot Lips Hustle 5K: The Cause: Imagine going through life never able to smile. Tragically, this would be the case for many cleft children worldwide if they are never treated for cleft lip or palate. This disfiguring birth defect occurs in 1 in 700 babies, and many are born into families that cannot afford treatment for cleft. The consequences of untreated cleft include difficulty eating or smiling, and often children with cleft are shunned and abandoned. That's why the Hot Lips Hustle is here to help.
The Hot Lips Hustle is an annual event. The first and second Hot Lips Hustle were a huge success! To date the Hot Lips Hustle has raised enough money to fund surgeries for 34 children suffering with cleft lip or palate, changing their lives forever. It is difficult for any of us to imagine what those children’s lives had been up to that point and how dramatic the changes from this surgery are. How You can help: Where and When: 2922 Sandy Plains Road The course is a fast, flat, and scenic 3.1 miles (5 kilometers) down Ebenezer Road, beginning at 8:00 am. |
