I am fighting to raise funds for Briar and Elsie as they fight for time and make memories.

Balclutha, Otago

On the 4th of October I will be stepping into the ring as part of Punch for Purpose 5. I have chosen to fight to raise funds for the lovely Briar. In March this year, at just 23, Briar got the devastating news that she has stage 4 colon cancer. Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good.

As Briar faces this battle ahead she also has wee Elsie, her 2 year old daughter to worry about. Elsie is the center of Briars world and Briar the entirety of hers. Throughout this journey Elsie is going to require immense support. It is important to Briar and her family that they have the ability to make and preserve memories for Elsie going forward. Things that she can treasure as she grows up.

Every training, every punch and every dollar raised will be with Briar and Elsie in mind. The funds raised from this page will go towards helping with travel and medical costs. Helping ease the financial burden on Briar and her family, allowing them time and funds to create precious memories.

Join me on my journey to the ring and help me raise valuable funds for Briar as she fights for time.
