Last January I lost the most important person in my life — my grandmother, the woman who raised me — to cancer. Her strength, love, and resilience shaped who I am, and her loss left a space in my heart that can never truly be filled.

This fight is for her.

I'm stepping into the ring as part of Haymakers for Hope to raise money for cancer research, care, and survivorship so that others don’t have to experience what my family did. This is more than just a boxing match; it’s a way to honor her memory and contribute to a future where fewer people lose their loved ones too soon.

Every punch I throw is for her, and every dollar raised brings us closer to a cure. Thank you for supporting me — and her — in this fight.
