"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa
To be chosen to participate in Haymakers for Hope has me at a loss for words. Haymakers for Hope has been close to my heart for the last few years. I have volunteered and watched on as many friends have stepped into the ring to fight for one goal: raising money for cancer research, care, awareness, and survivorship.
In 2017, my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. A cornerstone of our family and one of the strongest men I have ever been blessed to know. My grandfather battled this horrible disease with every breath he had. He was never given a choice on whether he wanted to fight, fighting was the only option. Although cancer has taken him from this world, his strength and spirit never wavered.
I am dedicating this fight to my grandfather and to my family who had shown the greatest amount of strength during the time in which he was sick. I am dedicating this fight to all of those who are battling this disease, those who have lost loved ones to this disease and those who continue to show up in strength to support those who are going through their battles with this disease.
I thank every one of you who support this amazing cause for the ones who are fighting and will continue to fight!
