Why I box

"The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again.  Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."                                  -Theodore Roosevelt, The Man In The Arena

It is officially 2 weeks away.  For those who do not know, I will be fighting November 15th at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in front of (what will be) a sold out crowd of 2,500 people.  The fight raises money for the Haymakers For Hope Charity which designates funding for the Cancer Research Charity of your choice.  The money we raise will be designated for Mesothelioma Research at the Mt. Sinai Tissue Bank (more information available here: http://www.insulators.org/insulators-tissue-bank  This cause is close to me as my grandfather he has seen lives ruined from Mesothelioma and Asbestosis as a result of his time as a union insulator, exposed to the toxic agent that is asbestos.  My grandfather spent the latter half of his career crusading for a cure for this horrible disease and has worked very closely with Mt. Sinai in the creation and funding of this Tissue Bank.
