Cancer affects far more than the person diagnosed. It impacts entire families, friendships and communities.

In 2023, my ex-mother-in-law and I completed 100 push-ups every day throughout November in memory of Martin and Ian, contributing to a Cancer Research UK campaign that raised over £1.27 million. It showed me how small individual efforts can create a meaningful impact when people come together.

This year, the fight became even more personal when I lost my Grandma to stage 4 bone cancer. Being more than 3,000 miles away made that loss even harder.

Haymakers for Hope is my way of turning these experiences into action. I may be the one stepping into the ring, but I cannot do this alone. Every donation helps fund lifesaving research and supports everyone affected by cancer.
