On April 15th, I'll be stepping into the boxing ring to fight in Haymakers for Hope's Liberty Bell Brawl IV.

I started training for this event with absolutely no boxing experience, but my goal is to mimic an adjacent strength that patients and survivors exhibit before, during, and after their battle with cancer. A few punches to the body and maybe even face is nothing compared to the fight they put up with.

I am fighting for those who are not only directly impacted by this terrible disease, but also those who carry a different type of weight while watching their loved one battle against cancer. More specifically, I am dedicating my fight to my two cousins that have proved that their cancer diagnosis does not define them.

Help me reach my goal of $10,000 - donations will go towards cancer research, care, awareness, and survivorship.
