“My name is Andrew, and I took part in the Tour de Teesside for Teesside Hospice!
Over July, I cycled over 200 miles to raise money for Teesside Hospice which is a local charity in Middlesbrough. I managed to raise over £700, and I got a match fund of £250 from my employer which has obviously contributed significantly!
200 miles sounds quite easy to cycle, and it was at first. But, once you got into it, it was really quite challenging. In moments, I did want to give up, but then I realised the reason why I was doing it, and the support that the hospice provides within the local community. That gave me the motivation to continue.
I’d like to say a big thank you to each and every one of you that has donated to me, as little as people did and for the huge amounts that people did. I really appreciate it, and on behalf of Teesside Hospice, thank you very much!
If you're up for the challenge next year, give it a go. It’s well worth it.”

Cyril is one of our Wellbeing Centre patients and we sat down with him to listen to his experience at the Wellbeing Groups and sessions here at Teesside Hospice. "My condition is that I’ve lost my left leg, and I’m unable to walk, which has closed a lot of things down in my life. But the main thing is, groups like this still allow me to get out there and try new things.”
