I’m fighting because cancer is a miserable disease, which is an obvious statement, but it bears repeating over and over. Sadly, you start to lose count of the number of friends and family that have been afflicted by this disease, and it seems most everybody has been directly or indirectly impacted by cancer. That said, this event provides an opportunity to make some small dent in the fight against cancer, and the search for a cure. Too many are literally fighting for their lives, and as they Haymaker’s slogan states, Not Every Fight Ends At The Bell. I’m doing this in memory of friends and family that I’ve lost, and for those who are still fighting…and because I’m much more comfortable raising money by getting punched than running a marathon.
