Teens Unite Supporter, Adele, is currently training for her challenge in Costa Rica later this year. Last weekend, she took her training over to France, and this is what she had to say
"Today I cycled 12.35km - my plan was to also get some bread whilst I was out..... hence a weird detour on my route. The boulangerie was supposed to open at 3pm, by 3.15pm I gave up waiting - I was tempted to take the footpath back but thought the walkers had enough ‘risques’ to deal with. It was tough going back though as I had no snacks with me and I had barely eaten, apart from a mouthful of bugs. The moral of today’s story is never cycle hungry - lesson learnt. I was cold and ‘hangry’ when I got back but then delighted to find another donation! Great motivation! Followed by a large amount of foodđ and a hot đ bath. Phew đ tomorrow I am hoping for a warmer day "
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Nathan, 23, VolunteerTeens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
Jess, 22, Teen, Acute Myeloid LeukaemiaWhen Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
David, Parent to Elliot, 18, Non-Hodgkins LymphomaI needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
Harry, 20, Teen, Testicular CancerWith Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
Leanne, 21, Teen, Acute Lymphoblastic LeukaemiaIf it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
Derry, 20, Teen, Brain TumourMy wife inspired me to volunteer following her fight against cancer. I wanted to help others carry on living their lives the way she did. And that's exactly what Teens Unite does.
