See what our fabulous supporters have been up to this month

Malachy Hockey was diagnosed with TS when he was just 6 years old, and now, as a happy 13 year old boy who achieves anything he sets his heart on, he decided to undertake an epic 20 mile bike ride, joined by his amazingly supportive sister Jasmine and his 'Chuckle Brother' Reuben. Their joint effort raised an incredible £585 for TA! Superb result team Hockey!

Despite the official event being cancelled due to Covid-19, Phil Longhurst laced up his trainers and completed the virtual Great North Run, completing 13.1 miles in his local area and raising a fabulous £722! Thanks Phil - you're a star!

Thom Read, along with his best pals Lottie Carpenter, Megan Dempsie, Oliver Craigie and Jason Martin, completed an amazing 20 mile sponsored bike ride for TA. Despite a puncture drama at mile 12, they finished in style at their local football club with friends and family supporting them over the finish line. The pedal power of these fabulous friends raised an incredible £2715! Thank you - you are all super stars!

12 year old Toby Holmes and his younger brother Harry, completed an epic 12 hour long 'gameathon' together and raised a fantastic £330 for TA! The boys supported our Festival of Gaming by doing something they enjoy whilst raising awareness and money - thank you boys!

A HUGE thank you to Sweet Anita for supporting our Festival of Gaming campaign and for raising over £11,000 for TA.

Sweet Anita is a popular British YouTuber with around 686K subscribers on YouTube and 969K followers on Twitch. She has TS and often raises awareness about her condition in her videos.
