Story

My name is Rob and i'm a 41 year old above the knee amputee. 

In 2021 I will be boxing at the Royal Bath Hotel in aid of the youth cancer Trust under the guidance of the amazing trainer Marc Smith. 

I lost my leg in March 2018 due to having a tumour and other complications so I know first hand what a charity like this will do to help those affected with this awful disease. 

I also want to show others that having a disability is no bar to achieving what you would like to do in life. 

Its been over 20 years since I last stepped in to the ring and when I was offered the opportunity to do it again it was a chance that I couldn't refuse. 

I may not be as young and as fit as I once was but I have a heart of a lion and I will always give 1000% in all I do.

If you could spare a few pence to this wonderful charity then it would be so appreciated. If this could be shared far and wide this would also be equally appreciated.

I will of course update during my training and let you know how I'm getting on. 


Thanks so much 


Rob
