Every single one of us has been affected by a breast cancer diagnosis - if not our own, then someone we love. Industry Boxing has partnered with Against Breast Cancer to train women for 10 weeks in how to box, to focus on building their strength and power, culminating in a fabulous match event on 30th May 2019 at Clapham Grand. 

I am an eternal diplomat, much happier to talk things through than to throw fists. I will fight to the end for you or a cause I believe in, but I have struggled to stand up for *myself* when attacked. Now, I am pushing myself physically and mentally across painful boundaries to discover new reserves of power and discipline. 

Against Breast Cancer is different to other research charities because they are research secondary breast cancer and increasing survival after diagnosis. They also support and develop young scientists to help find a cure, something I am passionate about. 

Below is what your money will go towards (JustGiving reclaims a 5% processing fee at the end, so please bear that in mind when donating). Give what you believe in, find out more here
