Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page! 

In October 2013 my Mom was diagnosed with the dreaded C word. She has a type of cancer called myeloma. This year has been a very tough year which seems to have been set back after set back and I have seen first hand how heart breaking this disease really is. 

However, through a tough few months my Mom has been so positive and fought this with incredible strength and courage, she truly is an inspiration to me. 

She has eventually had her stem cell transplant and things seem to be looking up. So that got me thinking what could I do to give a little back to these remarkable people who help care and deal with this horrible disease on a daily basis. 

With some persuasion and encouragement from Priory boxing club I am going to be attending a 10 week intense training programme then fighting in one of Priory's boxing events at the Copthorne hotel.

People who know me will know this is completely out of my comfort zone and I have never been in a boxing ring in my life! However this simply doesn't compare to the fight my Mom has been through these last two years.

Thanks for taking time to read my page
