Hey everyone!  My name is Mike Preziosi and I am from Braintree, Massachusetts.  I first heard about Haymakers for Hope about 6 years ago when I started to develop a passion for martial arts.  After a few years of applying, I was honored to receive the email with an opportunity to fight at Rock N' Rumble XI.

This past year the fight against cancer became more personal to me when my Dad was diagnosed with cancer in his small intestine, which he has been battling since.  When you hear the word "cancer" your mind immediately goes to a million bad places.  It was honestly one of the most helpless and powerless I have ever felt in my life.  But what better way to take back some of that power than by literally fighting for a cure.

On May 19th I will be fighting for my Dad, my Papa, and for anyone else who has been touched by this cause.

If you are able to donate - thank you, if you want to come see me get punched in the face - even better!

In the words of another Braintree fighter, it takes a village to #KOcancer.  Let's do it together.
