Why I box

"Don't give up...don't ever give up!"

Jimmy V.

It was May 1994, two months after my first child was born, I remember receiving the phone call from my Dad..."Honey I'm dying...the cancer has spread", that is all I heard.  At that moment I knew my life would never be the same.  For the next several months our family did everything we could to help in my Dad's fight against cancer, unfortunately it wasn't enough, four short months later, August 27, 1994, my Dad passed away, surrounded by his loved ones...he was only 52.

On August 28, 2021, I turned 52.  I have been given the opportunity to participate in this amazing event to #KOCancer!  I will be fighting for my Dad, Joanne Stanway, Judy Galetta, Paul (Boo) Steinhilber, Claire Hindle, Andrew Setteducate, Sandy Xenos, Larry "Ziggy" Almeida, Mr. Worthington, Norman Worthington, Terry Johnson, Alan Strahota, Pamela Sheward, Lisa DeFrancesco, Tricia Enright, Myron Waldman, Jerry Remy, Dawn Coppens, Elizabeth Allen, Coach Poirier, Ted and Judy Davis, Dianne Martel, Gerry Martel, Rosa Saba, Kelly Alvarez, Larry Moe, Melissa Shatzer, Darla Sexton, Anne's sister Sue, Elizabeth Brewer, Vicki Holland, Maggie, Sarah, Jeff, Mary, Rada Rich, Ken Bloom, Amie White, Joyce Crocker, Adolph Neubert, Maria Gordon, Melodie Roy, Evelyn Sala, Chick Carter, Manuel Cunha, Michael Robert, Wanda Hayback, Kathleen Stephens, Kathy Apice, Terry Gilbride, Marie Tassinari, Lorraine Mendez, Paula Davitt, Sara Duval, Maurice Finnerty, Michael Ingenloff, Harry Gardiner, Jean Gardiner, Glen Gardiner, Rosemary Smith, Maryann Podedworny, Ed Allen, Karen Maguire, Eileen Maguire, Kim's niece Kira, Dan Cronin, Andrea Wiley, Rasul Ali, John Wise, Marie The Neubert, Elise McCarthy, Margaret Huang, Ann Clays, Anne LeBlanc, Renate Veeder, David Veeder, Chrissy Burton, John O'Conor, Chickie Spellman, Donald Spellman, Lois Totten, Peggy Fitzgerald, Connor Tyrrell, René Gérard, Emma Radwanski, Angelica Ruiz, Lori Teaken McKendry, Ella Integlia, Mary Ann Buote, Laurel Davidson, Kathleen Veth, Kristen Knapp Flynn, Carole Russell, Maurice LeGarde, Alena Ferraro, Leondina DeSimone Giusti, Ken Myers, Christy Shoup, Sean Murphy, Carol Opiekun, Carl Lindewall, John Parsons, Andrea Sauro, Corrigan Sinclair, Chris Bourgeois, Marilyn Bourgeois, Heidi's friends Kathy and Laura, Bob Catron, Bubba Jacobson, Bryan Shoemaker, Rick O'Brien, Danny Sheehan, Anita Oliver, Susan Infante Despo, Dave Brown, Linda Cepelak, Martin Nee, Melanie Palemonte Paredes, Helen Taylor, Richard Mamuska, James Taubert, Carol Kelley, John Murphy, Mark Price, Dolores Noel, Joan Torriero, Kim Sgroi, Aunt Mina, Aunt Dorothy, Grandpa D., Grandma K., Joan C., Christine Harding, Brad Shaw, Shirley LaFazia, Bill Kelley, Jim Hardy, Tom Gremo, Rita Albrant, Paul Albrant, Dan George, Kathy North, Karen Dye, Helen Ryan, Maddie Savoie, Lisa Libis, Steve Gallagher, Randy Flick, Rex Rust, Jill Kemp, Mary Hoover Max Mernick, Joanna Pettey, Dickie Pariseault, Pat Westcott, Geri Brochu and everyone else I know who has fought or is fighting this terrible disease.  All of your generous donations will help support research which will hopefully lead to a cure, so no one else has to receive the phone call or go through what my Dad and my family endured.

Thank you very much for your support!
