Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking part in an amateur boxing fight on the 30th of November to help raise important funds for the Crohn's and Colitis charity.

Melvin, a close friend of mine was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis shortly after graduating and suffered from it throughout his twenties. Melvin died earlier this year and although this disease was not related to his death, the Roberts family would like all donations to go to this chosen charity which is dedicated to research of this illness.

You may be aware of this disease from Darren Fletcher of Manchester United, who  has publicly spoken about ulcerative colitis actively encouraging other sufferers to raise awareness - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/health/health/4000080/Darren-Fletchers-career-is-far-from-over.html

This will be the first time i have boxed in a ring under competative conditions, i have started my training in preperation for this event and I am doing this soley for the purpose of this charity and in memory of Melvin Carlton Roberts.

I will be posting more information regarding the event closer to the time. so hopefully you will be able to support me on the day.

So please dig deep and donate now.
