Far too often, someone that I know, or a friend of a friend, is diagnosed with cancer. It is the word we all fear, and it continues to affect the innocent lives of so many people near to us. 

While I have been fortunate to lead a healthy life, I am determined to contribute my time and effort to raise money and awareness to help find a cure for this terrible disease. I am honored to be a part of the Haymaker Family. Haymaker's 4 Hope has allowed me the opportunity to fight back against this disease, by training for and competing in a boxing event at Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday, November 14th to raise funds for Cancer Research, which will be directed towards Exercise Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital.

The Exercise Oncology Service brings together scientists and physiologists to study the effect of physical activity on cancer treatment and prognosis. For years, people with cancer and their doctors have been intrigued by the idea that something as simple as exercise could make cancer treatment more effective and allow people to recover more quickly when treatment is over.

If you would like to contribute on behalf of my fundraising efforts, you can donate through the link on this page. Any amount you are able to give is greatly appreciated. For those who want to take the next step, consider purchasing a ticket or table to witness what will surely be an entertaining night! I will be fighting for those that we have lost, and for those whose lives have been crippled by this disease. Your donation will go a long way, let's fight this horrific disease together. LET’S KNOCKOUT CANCER!  #KOCANCER​​​​​​
