Feedback from RSM
Hear why these bikes are so important to Teens Unite
“Teens Unite supports young people fighting cancer from diagnosis through to post-remission. We help them to overcome the emotional, social and physical side effects a diagnosis often leaves behind.
By working with O3e, we have been able to make a significant difference to the health and fitness of some of the young people we support. The bikes have helped to restore their mental and physical strength following their cancer and encouraged them to test their ability and put fitness goals in place. Furthermore, the bikes have given many of the young people their confidence and independence back, which is remarkable to see.
It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside O3e. Not only have they helped us to support young people through the bikes that have kindly been donated, but they have spread the word about Teens Unite amongst influential businesses who could have a significant impact on the success of the charity.”
