The hits are real and so is the transformation
Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to knockout cancer the only way we know how, by literally fighting for a cure.
Haymakers for Hope’s mission is to knockout cancer the only way we know how, by literally fighting for a cure.
We give everyday men and women the opportunity to fight back against this terrible disease by training for, and competing in charity boxing events to raise money and awareness. To prepare for each event, we combine the efforts of the first time amateur boxing participants, local boxing gyms and volunteers. We hope to help give life saving researchers the resources needed to fully focus their efforts on finding a cure.
The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.
"Remember, if it was easy, everyone would do it. Champions are built brick by painful brick
and that can take a lifetime. Sometimes it can happen without anyone even bothering to
notice. Take heart. The mountains you climb can't always be seen by an audience...
Still, you must not stop climbing. For, in all their sophomoric hubris, whatever actions
we take, or do not take, the mountain remains."
"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses—behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."
- Muhammad Ali
