On Sunday 24th June, we saw 205 4-13 year olds take on the Junior Warrior Race, conquering either a 1km, 2 km or 3km course. They ran, climbed, crawled, jumped and slid around a course packed with obstacles including scramble nets, balance beams, hurdles, net crawls, ramps and monkey bars.
The event, which was held at EDGE Activity Centre in Ware, was fun for the whole family; it was fantastic to see so many parents, friends and siblings out to support the participants, cheering them on (and even soaking them with water!) as they completed the course.
If you missed out on the fun, fear not! We're holding another Junior Warrior Race in Loughton on October 7th. For more information or to secure your place, please click here.
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.

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.
