I have always loved boxing, and quickly learned that getting into the ring takes an immense amount of skill and mental toughness. As strong as I may be, I never lose sight of those who must be strong every day.
Growing up, I realized what being mentally tough truly meant. My mother was diagnosed on two different occasions with Breast Cancer and I watched her fight the ultimate fight while going through treatment. Advances in research and early detection is what helped her to win her fight and I hope I am able to contribute to save someone else's. This October, I will be more than ready to fight for a cure.
