As many of you may know, Angelos, a young person supported by Teens Unite, will be embarking on a strenuous cycle ride from Oxfordshire, all the way to the centre of London in just one day. Joining Angelos will be celebrity mentor, Jermaine Jenas.
In yesterday’s episode of The One Show, we saw Angelos preparing for the challenge alongside Jermaine, who will be beside him every step of the way, providing support & bringing the energy! (Jody Cindy shared some Olympian words of wisdom with Angelo’s too). Although we saw Angelos face some initial struggles with his balance, he was resilient & kept going.
We’re so proud that Angelos is representing Teens Unite on this challenge, following the funding we received from Children in Need of £9,700 a year for the last 3 years, as restricted funding.
By sharing his story he is raising awareness of the ongoing challenges young people diagnosed with cancer face. We can’t wait to watch how the challenge unfolds. Challenge Squad, you’ve got this!
Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
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.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When 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.
I 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.
With 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.
If 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.
