Story

“In December, I will embark on another fitness challenge, completing 40 x 3minute rounds of fun body sparring
with 1min intervals between the rounds.   Sparring partners will be volunteers from across the Advisory ExCo and my network of friends / clients (including insurance industry professionals), comprising a range of ages, genders and abilities, taking place at St Paul’s Boxing Academy in Hull.

Support for the event is already gathering pace; a former boxing World Chamption, Stevie Smith, now an amateur and professional boxing coach, has agreed to participate in a number of rounds.   Carl
Heath, former amateur and professional boxer, now coach, mentor and founder of EnergyWIze University of Life, offers some words of inspiration and support via the vlog available on this site. 

The event will be a fun way to raise vital funds in support of Mires Beck.  This charity provides work experience and social therapeutic horticulture for adults who live with the challenges of learning difficulties, autism and physical disabilities at their 14 acre nursery and conservation site in East Yorkshire.  Their work enriches lives
with improvements in physical and social abilities, by exposing their service users to the benefits of the natural rural environment. To understand more about the wonderful work that Mires Beck do, please see:

I am looking to secure sponsorship of at least £100 per round; you can of course sponsor one or multiple rounds, corner sponsorship, or any other amount, no matter how small (or large!) you feel comfortable with - every penny genuinely helps!

I would be thrilled, as I know Mires Beck would be, if we could raise £10,000. Spectators are very welcome toattend (entry charge applicable).  If you would like to attend, please reach out to Angela Bradshaw.

Thank you for your invaluable support for this fun event.”
