Raising Funds For Next Years Recovery Games 2018
Stephen
came to
The Therapy Centre
in
Bridlington
emotionally,
psychologically
and
physically broken.
Before coming to the
Centre
Stephen
felt
isolated, stigmatized
and
suicidal.
He found that other
services
struggled
to accommodate
his needs
because not only was
Stephen
diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia
and had a
33 year drug
and
alcohol addiction,
but
Stephen
also came with his
beloved dog
‘Reg’
who is
constantly by his side.
Stephen has recently found out that
‘Reg’
his beloved
best friend for over
9 years
has a
large terminal
tumor
and only has a
few months to
live.
“When Reggie passes I know that the staff at The Therapy Centre
will be here for me. The Therapy Centre has saved my life, and has
given me and Reggie a life that is worth living, even my mum doesn’t
worry about me because she knows that I am safe.
I don’t know where I would be without them”
(Stephen M).
Stephen is going to attempt to walk the
3 Peaks of Yorkshire Challenge
in just 12 hours, with a total distance of 24 miles, and an
overall ascent of 1600 meters to raise money for The Therapy Centre
in Bridlington.
Adele is attempting to undertake the
challenge to support Stephen and
to support The Therapy Centre in continuing the great work that they
do with clients who have complex needs such as:
HIV, Dementia, Paranoid Schizophrenia,
Noonan’s, Social Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder, Bi-polar, OCD and Addiction just to mention a few.
“I
have had the pleasure of working with Stephen for over 2 years,
and have witnessed first-hand Stephen’s struggle to overcome his
addiction and accept his mental health.
I was with Stephen when Reggie was diagnosed with a terminal
tumor and saw the pain in Stephen’s eyes, but instead of falling
into the trap of depression and back into addiction Stephen has
found the courage and the strength to continue his training and says
that he is determined to attempt to undertake this strenuous
challenge. Everyone at The Therapy Centre is very proud of him”.
(Adele B – Stephen’s support worker and an Accredited B.A.C.P.,
counselor who specialises in addiction).
The money that Stephen and Adele are hoping to raise will go towards a day out at the Recovery Games in Doncaster in 2018. The Recovery Games is a fun day out where The Therapy Centre clients and their families compete against other teams, and work together as a team to learn new social skills. It’s a place where confidence can be built and where they can feel part of society recognising that they are not alone, and with your help we can make this happen.
Despite the poor weather conditions Adele
& Stephen completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks
and the total raised for the 2018 Recovery Games was
£423
