This year, I’ve been selected to throw punches for a purpose in Haymakers for Hope’s “Beltway Brawl” in DC, raising money for DKMS, a phenomenal nonprofit helping blood cancer patients find life-saving bone marrow donors.

I’ve always been drawn to mental and physical challenges, whether it was collegiate wrestling, a 10-year run in the Marine Corps, or six marathons too many, I’ve always believed that suffering builds character.

Then in September 2023, I entered a new fight when I was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, a common but aggressive type of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Throughout treatment I made myself a promise: If I made it to remission, I’d find a way to sacrifice for those who were still in the fight.

So now, I’m raising funds for DKMS, the world’s largest network of bone marrow donor centers. They match healthy donors with patients who need bone marrow transplants as a life-saving treatment option.

I’d love for you to support my campaign—by donating, sharing, or showing up on September 25 at The Anthem in DC to cheer, jeer, or just watch me get punched in the face for a good cause.

Let’s knock out blood cancer together.
