Wow! What a few days we have had for the CP Teens UK Bake Off 2020 - topped off by Paul Hollywood liking one of our star bake entries!

​

We have had some fantastic entries over the past three days - from rainbow cake to Victoria sponge, we've seen a vast range of wonderful cakes and bakes!

​

Unfortunately only three people could go through the public vote. Our judge who used to manage her own cake shop chose the following people to go through to public vote (full evaluation and comments were done as a Facebook live) :

​

- MADDY H

- CHARLIE P

- DEVINA B

​

The public had 24 hours to vote for their winner. On 19th of June 2020, the CP Teens UK Bake Off Champion was crowned on a Facebook live.

You may have heard of 'Captain Tobias' during lockdown!

Tobias has Cerebral Palsy and Autism. He saw Captain Tom Moore walking lengths of his garden with his walker to raise money for the NHS and Tobias was inspired to challenge himself to a marathon using his walker!

Tobias’s Marathon Challenge went viral and he completed his marathon raising over £100,000 for charity!

CP Teens UK is very proud to assist Tobias's next mammoth challenge! We have provided Tobias with a RaceRunner so he can complete his 'TOBIATHLON'! He is now attempting to RaceRun the distance of a marathon!

Tobias, with his mum Ruth, picked up a CP Teens UK RaceRunner last week from Founder, Ellie.

Go Tobias, go!

Every year CP Teens UK holds the 'Sponsored Wobble' - an accessible and inclusive 5k challenge. Whether you walk, 'wobble' or wheel, everyone is welcome and finishes together.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the South Sponsored Wobble (2nd May - Windsor) has had to be cancelled, and the North Sponsored Wobble (9th May - Chatsworth) has had to be postponed (new date TBC).

However! To make up for this and as a warm up to the postponed North Sponsored Wobble, CP Teens UK brings you the Virtual Wobble!

VIRTUAL WOBBLE:
Whether it's 10 steps in your back garden, 100 meters down your road, or even a 5k cycle in your local park (if it's safe for you to do so and it meets government regulations!), you are invited to take part at 11am on Saturday 9th May!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
1. Choose your distance and where. ALL mobility aids welcome and ALL gym equipment welcome, e.g. treadmill, rower. ALL distances welcome from steps, to metres, to kilometres! Whatever your choice of challenge, it MUST meet government regulations - i.e. if not in your home or garden, please DO NOT drive somewhere to participate or go over an hour!

2. On Saturday 9th May at 11am, do your challenge and post a photo or video of you doing it on social media (Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram) along with:

I am doing *your personal distance/challenge* as part of the CP Teens UK Virtual Sponsored Wobble! #CPTeensUK #VirtualWobble "

As part of your post, give people the option to sponsor by adding "You can sponsor me, and lots of other young disabled people, doing the challenge here:" You can either:

a) Ask people to donate on the main page - https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/VirtualWobble

OR

b) Setup your own JustGiving page by going to www.justgiving.com/cpteensuk and click "Fundraise For Us" > Organised Event > Virtual Wobble


3. We will add together the steps, meters and kilometres on the evening of Saturday 9th May. To be included, please ensure before 6pm that a) you tag CP Teens UK in your posts (@CPTeensUK on all platforms) and b) your posts are set to public otherwise we can't see it. If you wish for your post to remain for your friends and family but you wish to be included in the total, please email your completed distance to office@cpteensuk.org before 6pm.

4. There will be 2 prizes:
a) Longest distance
b) Most inspirational effort

Let's get wobbling!
