Cancer has taken so much from me — my grandfather, my aunt Harriette, Miss Bobbie, and many more. For most of my life, I've experienced cancer as something that happens to me and the people I love. This is my chance to flip that. Every training session, every round, every dollar raised is me fighting back. I want to step into that ring and feel, for the first time, like I have some power over something that has felt so powerless to face.

I'm fighting for those that are unable to fight for themselves and fighting to help find a way to get rid of this awful disease!
