Why I box

Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to knockout cancer the only way we know how, by literally fighting for a cure.

My name is Danny Schaefer, I'm fighting to #kocancer as I've seen first hand what these disease does. Losing a special man in my life (we'll call him JD, as he'd never agree to publicize his fight with cancer) to pancreatic cancer in 2017 was one of the saddest, most frustrating and disheartening things I've ever been through. Being a self made man that was raised to believe I could do ANYTHING I set my mind to, it was early impossible for me to grasp the fact there was little to nothing I could do to save JD or even increase his quality of life in those final months. Even worse was the timing. From diagnosis to his passing was roughly six months. As sad as it was, I was happy he didn't have to extend the torture that he experienced in those six months. For a strong man that had beaten addiction (drugs at a young age and alcohol throughout his life), divorce, a failed business and the natural health consequences that come with addiction, to receive a terminal diagnosis shortly after making these immense life changes was just unfair. Beyond my experience with JD, I also have two amazing children, Rowan is a 7 year old ninja and Alanna, a 2.5 year old princes. Having to explain to them what cancer was, and how/why their papa was so thin and frail, or how and why he's no longer with us was heart wrenching. To hear that 4 in 10 people (or 38%) will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their life , if something isn't done those numbers will only grow. To think about that in perspective of your family, it's the single most identifiable risk of loss known to man. 

Fuck that, Fuck Cancer, I'm ready to #kocancer, but understanding there's only so much in the power of 1, it's an absolute honor to be working with the Haymakers for Hope organization. Their dedication, vision and commitment to this cause is inspiring and I truly believe that my small contribution to this cause will be multiplied MAY times over again through my network of amazing family, friends, associates and the community I represent. 

As an incentive, ALL CONTRIBUTORS to this cause made in my name will be matched dollar for dollar in FREE CBD product that will be donated to any cancer organization that will accept it, as I have also committed my life to the mainstreaming, education and activation of the cannabis industry. Overall, I truly hope and believe will eventually cannabis will be verified as a NATURAL TREATMENT to this ugly disease.

Love and light, 

Danny Schaefer
