Personal message
The Teddy Bear Clinic's vision is that children will not be abused anymore, but where they are being abused, they want to provide efficient and professional services that effectively promote their healing and stop any further abuse. This translates into a mission to minimize any secondary harm to children and their families upon their entering the child protection system. Unfortunately, the vital work performed by the Teddy Bear Clinic is expensive. My 947 ride is dedicated to the children that have to endure the unspeakable, and the amazing people who help them survive it. I hope that I can raise enough to help make a difference in at least one child's life x

The Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children (TTBC) originated in 1986 in response to an urgent need for medical examinations for sexually abused children. From there it has grown into a fully fledged service for abused children which includes: Forensic medical examinations, forensic assessments, counseling, psychological testing and more recently a diversion programme for youth sexual offenders. As an NGO, our concern is not only to support children and families affected by abuse but also to promote: “CHILD ABUSE NO MORE”.
