Fighting for a Cure, One Punch at a Time

I’m incredibly honored to be participating in the Haymakers For Hope charity boxing event to raise funds for cancer research and to KO cancer.

This cause is deeply personal to me. In 2013, my father was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma. He underwent months of chemotherapy and radiation; I’m happy to share that he KO’d cancer and has been in remission for over 11 years.

I am also fighting for one of my childhood friends, who completed chemotherapy a few months ago for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, an aggressive but common type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The funds I raise will go directly to a charity that he has a deep connection with called DKMS. It is the largest bone marrow donor registry in the world, and does incredible work to facilitate matches between blood cancer patients and healthy, viable bone marrow donors.

I've committed to raising at least $15,000 for Haymakers for Hope, and with your help, I know we can far exceed this ambitious goal. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to a world without cancer. Join me in this fight, and together, we can deliver a knockout blow to cancer.

Thank you for your support and I’ll see you in the ring on November 14th!
