We are pleased to announce that Microtia UK have managed to secure one charity ballot place at the TCS London Marathon!
As you can imagine, it is very hard to pick one person, so we would love to hear your reasons as to why you would love to run the London Marathon. If you would like to be considered for this once-in-a-lifetime experience then click on the link below to apply.
Please give as much information as possible about how you plan on raising the target amount and why it is important to you to support Microtia UK.
We are currently updating the website with a whole new look! In 2018, Tina created the Microtia UK website, and after doing small updates on it over the last 6 years, she has now decided to give it a full update. Please bear with us whilst we make our way through each page to do the updates, and we hope you like it and find it easy to navigate!
Philippa shares, “This is my daughter Rosie, who will be featured in a new documentary series called Face Doctors. It follows patients at Addenbrookes in Cambridge who have conditions or injuries affecting the face and they asked to film Rosie when she had her first prosthetic ear fitted.
The team were all lovely and Addenbrookes have been amazing, but the process hasn’t been quite as simple as the final edit.
I hope we have represented the microtia community well, I wanted it to be clear that we think she looks perfect with or without her new ear.
The show is on Really at 9pm on Wednesday, then Discovery Plus On Demand.”
We are finialising our plans for the London event which is taking place on 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝗻𝗱. Tickets are now available! When purchasing your tickets, please make sure you fill in the form located further down the page, and then order your tickets by adding them to the basket and proceeding to the check out. A limited number of free tickets are available on request.
We can’t wait to see you and celebrate 10-years of being a charity!
On Thursday, 9th November it is the Microtia Awareness Day, and to kick start the week we have the Brighton Palace Pier lighting up in orange for us today and Cranbrook Union Windmill lighting up in orange for 1 week!
Free places are now available for those who would like to run the 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 or 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝗞 in 2024 for Microtia UK. We rely on dedicated people like you to ensure that we can continue to support those born with microtia. Click here for further details or to sign up. Thank you!

The London Landmarks is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster.

Our virtual meet is back this Monday, 3rd July at 8pm. We welcome adults with microtia and parents/carers of children who have microtia to join us.
