I have been wanting to take part in a white collar boxing match for years but have always chickened out and come up with excuses as to why I shouldn't sign up and keep telling myself that I'll do it next year. When the opportunity came to join this year's RWC, I decided to finally take the plunge and not talk myself out of it. As recent events have shown me, tomorrow is never guaranteed and so I don't want to put things off. I want to live and challenge myself in the present so that I don't have any regrets. It's also a great opportunity to raise funds for charity.

The charity I am supporting is Pancreatic cancer, this is in memory of my best friend's dad who sadly passed away from this awful disease. I want to be able to raise awareness as well as funds so that more research can be done into this type of cancer

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers, yet for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case.

Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to taking on this injustice using every possible means. They're supporting people with pancreatic cancer now, campaigning, and funding vital research to transform the future. Help them to make the breakthroughs that people with pancreatic cancer so desperately need.
