David Grier runs 'Miles for Smiles' across Madagascar!

David Grier is on a four-and-a-half-month journey across Madagascar, from the south to north, using nothing but a kayak, some equipment and his legs.

But, why on earth would anyone put themselves through all that? Besides being young at heart, Grier, who spent his 50th birthday in solitude somewhere in the Madagascar jungle this month, believes that Operation Smile is a worthy cause that deserves people's attention. "This is such a tangible way of helping children. We're talking about a 45-minute operation that will change a child's life forever" he says. "Yes, this trip is crazy, but most times, that's the only way to get people to sit up and listen."

Operation Smile is dedicated to providing free treatment to children and adults suffering from cleft lips and cleft palates. These birth defects are typically corrected shortly after a baby's birth - unfortunately many children in rural areas around the world do not receive medical treatment. Often these children cannot eat, speak, or breathe properly, and live as social outcasts. Operation Smile is a non-profit organization working tirelessly raising funds that can be
used to bring a smile to a child's face, because every child has the right to smile!

Grier officially began his adventure on December 1 in Nacala on the Mozambican shore. From there, he pushed off in his kayak and paddled across the channel - a lengthy 500 km. This part of the journey took 11 days and was not without its moments of drama. Grier battled through at least one tropical storm and many more smaller ones. And, when it wasn't raining, the temperature soared to 40°C and higher.

Grier is currently on the second leg of his adventure, trekking through the thick of Madagascar's jungle. His plan is to cover the 2500 km distance on foot, and most of the time he'll be running.

Good luck David!!
