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.
When someone finds out they have cancer, I would imagine their world stops for a moment...suddenly, everything is different; they have been handed a "fight card" with their name on it to a fight they did not sign up for, can't train for, nor can they forfeit and choose to walk away.
I HAVE chosen this fight, I WILL train hard for this fight and I WILL NOT walk away from an opportunity to show those battling cancer that I am in their corner; they are not fighting alone. Neither of us can let the fear of losing our fight overcome our courage and determination to face our opponent with everything we have, whether it's cancer or another fighter in the ring.
There is a fighter in each of us...if we respect that fighter within, hope stays alive.
