Why I box

Let’s knock out cancer together

I enjoyed boxing as a hobby but never planned to take on an amateur fight. That changed when I faced a potential cancer diagnosis last year, which made me realize how fleeting life can be. Thankfully, my ultimate diagnosis was clear, but during those weeks of uncertainty, I felt powerless and aware that my carefully plotted path could unravel quickly. It was in that time of reflection that I decided to take on the challenge of Haymakers for Hope, aligning my efforts with a cause that supports cancer research.

Training for a fight is tough, but it pales in comparison to battling cancer. My heart goes out to all the warriors and their families who endure this struggle; they are the true champions. I’ll leave you with a quote from Muhammad Ali that resonated with me during this period: “Don’t count the days, make the days count.”
