I'm Sarah and I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma aged 11.
My favourite memory with Teens Unite has to be the Activity Stay. It was the most amazing and nerve racking experience, but I wish I could relive it all over again. I made so many new friendships and memories that I'll cherish forever.
If I could tell another young person fighting cancer one thing it would be that there are people that understand and if you get a chance to do something you are scared of doing, just take the leap, there will be people to catch you if you fall.
As the Diversity & Inclusion Representative I ensure Teens Unite events continue to be inclusive. Teens Unite welcomes everyone. Within this role I help guide and inform future decisions and ensure everyone is represented and included. I also help to identify areas of improvement and provide honest feedback to ensure that every young person is able to access the support Teens Unite offers.
A fun fact about myself - I play hockey for the England Adaptive hockey team.
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.
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.
