Why I box

"1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will develop cancer in their lifetime.  

Cancer isn’t one disease.  It is many different diseases and different for each patient.  But just as cancer evolves, we must continue to adapt, advance, and accelerate our efforts if we are to ultimately defeat cancer.  For everyone.  Forever."  

 

Dana-Farber Institute Campaign. Defy Cancer

In memory of my Mother-in-law Joyce McGowan who passed away from pancreatic cancer in January 2021.  Joyce fought a relentless battle during a particularly difficult time in a global pandemic, on top of the brutal cancer treatment and surgeries.  May She Rest In Peace. 

To all my relatives, friends and community that were taken from us too soon, I choose to fight in their honor and the loved ones left behind devastated. 

For those currently battling and recovering from cancer, I choose to fight as their journey is not over.  

And for all who will be impacted by cancer in the future, I choose to fight while I have the opportunity to make a difference.  

No one expects to develop cancer but if we do, we can only wish for hope and a cure. 

So please help me raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and support the incredible cancer research carried out there. 

I would like to say an enormous THANK YOU (so so much...) for donations received so far - I am very grateful.  

Here's to us all helping, in any way we can, to knock out cancer :-)

Cheers,

Belinda
