Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At some point in our lives, it’s likely that many of us will be affected by cancer.

Well back in 2001 it affected me when it took my Mum's life; a moment that has affected me over the years - I mean that hole never really gets filled. You just learn how to cope better.  At the time and over the years I thought about ways to raise money to help in the fight against cancer and always thought I would do a marathon…but it turns out I’m not a ‘runner’ (sore knees, tight calves and generally just the wrong shape). So, I decided I would try something different - Boxing. What could go wrong?  Please feel free to have a read, donate and share your story if you have been affected, or just want to vent about how shit things can get.

On the flip side, if you are one of the people who know me and want to see me get slapped about a bit and have waited years to do so. Well now is your chance to donate, buy a ticket and come along to the event. Chances are I won’t be able to tell the difference between a cheer or a boo on the night anyway and it will be for a good cause.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
