Cancer has touched the lives of many people I love, close friends, family members, and people who have had a lasting impact on my life. Like so many others, I’ve seen firsthand how devastating a diagnosis can be, not only for the person fighting it, but for everyone who loves them.

I’ve also had several people close to me compete in Haymakers for Hope, and I’ve seen the incredible impact the experience has had, not just on them, but on everyone who rallied around them. With no boxing experience, this has pushed me well outside my comfort zone, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to take on this challenge in support of a cause that means a lot to me.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such an inspiring community and to help support the fight against cancer. Thank you to everyone for your encouragement, generosity, and support. I’m honored to step into the ring this fall in support of everyone whose lives have been touched by cancer.
