Hello everyone,

I've been working hard and training my butt off for the past 2 months! Soon, I will be stepping into the ring for my first boxing match ever and I need your support!

I'm fighting to raise money for AKT, a charity that helps queer and trans young people who are homeless or in abusive homes and at risk of homelessness. The work they do is so important and it would truly mean the world to me if you could chip in and help me fight for this cause!

WHAT I'M DOING
We get 8 weeks training and a massive event laid on basically for free by the amazing Courage Boxing Team, and all we have to do in return is commit to raising money for the Albert Kennedy Trust (akt). Ticket sales for the fight go towards the charity, but if you aren't able / don't want to come, it would be amazing if you were up for chucking in some cash towards akt and then even if the whole thing is a humiliating disaster we can limp home to bed knowing that someone at least benefitted from the ordeal :)

OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT
You can come watch me fight! If you're in London, come see my match on March 19th! Get your tickets at prideboxing.co.uk and put my name down as the fighter you're supporting!
If you can't donate right now, it would also be so helpful if you could share this fundraiser widely amongst your friends/ on social media!

THE CHARITY
Lots of young people come out as LGBTQ+ to their families and are embraced and supported. But that’s not always the case. Coming out, or being outed as LGBTQ+ can lead to young people being made homeless. This is the reality for 77% of the young people akt supports. Sometimes families are unaccepting and abusive. The locks changed. Possessions destroyed. akt exists to support these young people and can offer safety and hope in an open and accepting environment. They help with housing and also help young LGBTQ+ people celebrate their identity.
