I've been training for nearly two months now, taking hit after hit to the skull. It's frustrating and it's terribly exhausting. One morning, feeling low and defeated I shouted, "I don't want to get hit anymore!", to which Jordan, of Haymakers for Hope, replied "people don't want to go through chemo." 

That statement hit harder than any fist. Nobody wants to be here. We're all fighting against something we'd rather not have to. Cancer. 

Cancer isn't selective. You're not given the choice not to fight. That's exactly why I chose to team up with my fellow Belles to battle alongside every other fighter that wasn't given the option. We're all in this together, because sadly, one day we may be the ones thrown into the fight without an alternative.
