Smile Train Team Empower conquers the 2023 London Marathon

Smile Train’s Team Empower ran to the finish line at the 2023 London Marathon, raising awareness as well as igniting hope and change for children with cleft.

Smile Train Philippines was proudly represented by three exceptional individuals—Tim Yap, Sam Verzosa, and Javi Martinez—as part of Team Empower. With the help of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, they were able to raise over $26,000 for Smile Train’s life-changing cleft lip and palate programs.
