In 2019 I lost my oldest brother, Chad, to stage four glioblastoma brain cancer. Glioblastoma is one of the most complex, deadly, and treatment-resistant cancers. Chad went through more in five years during treatment than most of us will go through in our entire life. There is no way I could sit here and describe what it was like to watch your sibling battle a disease that slowly strips away parts of who they are and eventually take their life way before it's their time. Chad is my inspiration daily for everything in my life, and now it will be my inspiration to step in the ring with Haymakers to honor him and help give back to those battling cancer.

I dedicate this fight to my brother, Chad Milliken; this fight's for you. I love you, Chad. You are forever in my heart and will be with me in the ring.

I also dedicate this fight to all of my family & friends who have been directly affected by cancer or have loved ones diagnosed with cancer. We are in this together to #KOcancer.
