Why I box

Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to knockout cancer the only way we know how, by literally fighting for a cure. Use what you are passionate about to try and help others. Fitness is my passion and I'm using it to raise money to help fight cancer.

We give everyday men and women the opportunity to fight back against this terrible disease by training for, and competing in charity boxing events to raise money and awareness. To prepare for each event, we combine the efforts of the first time amateur boxing participants, local boxing gyms and volunteers. We hope to help give life saving researchers the resources needed to fully focus their efforts on finding a cure.
I have seen and heard of many friends, family members and children fight through this disease. Many have survived and some, whom I never even got a chance to meet, have lost their fight. I do this in order to honor their lives. I feel it is the least I can do to be able to train for 4 months to raise money to help the people that are still fighting their battle for possibly many years if not their whole life. I feel truly blessed that I am physically able to help in this way.
