Story

I have put myself forward to fight at this year's AMAZING Charity Boxing Nights event which fundraises to support Newborn Intensive Care Unit babies at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

I've wanted to take part in this event since first watching Gaz step in the ring in 2016, and again last year!  I was 100% out of my comfort zone as I put those wraps on my hands for our first taster session back in July.

As a mum, there is nothing more precious than my children. I was fortunate enough to never need the help of neonatal care for my boys, but know many people who have benefitted from their work! 

In addition to getting your support for this charity and the invaluable work they do for families, by reaching or even exceeding my target, I have a number of reasons for wanting to smash this challenge and embrace everything that comes with it!

I'd be lying if I said one of my biggest motivations wasn't to show my (twice) beaten husband how to win a fight and restore some pride back in the family! 

So please get behind me by donating! Whether it's £1 or a £100, it will mean so much that you're supporting me and the cause!


I won't know for a few weeks whether I've made it through the training to fight night, but your support during my training will only spur me on to push through those brutal times and bite down hard on that mouth guard!

Let's smash this 🙌🏼🥊👊🏼🫶🏼
