Ash's Fit to Fight Challenge 2021

Everybody needs a fighting chance and now it’s my turn!

Over the next 8 weeks, I'll be taking part in Boxing Alley's 'Fit to Fight' challenge. Training like a boxer and raising funds for charity, before putting everything to the test in a final body-sparring event.

This is where I need your help. I have chosen a couple of charities that are close to my heart which are Hospice (West Auckland) and Youthline. I would love for you to help me raise money and awareness for these worthwhile causes.

Hospice (West Auckland) - Hospice West Auckland exists so people with a life limiting illness in West Auckland and those who care for them experience death as a dignified and compassionately supported process.

Our unique blend of holistic care extends to patients, families/whanau and carers. We offer our services in your own home or place of residence, the Kowhai Suite at Hospice House and our Living and Learning Centre.

Our assistance is practical, physical, emotional and spiritual. We care about quality of life, comfort and dignity at the end of life and ongoing support for those who are grieving for their loved ones.

Most of you know that my family and I have received care, help and support a couple of years ago.

Youthline is a "with youth, for youth" organisation that supports young people throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. We have been providing support to Kiwis aged between 12-24 years for more than 50 years.

Youthline is here to support all young people - this includes young people who are struggling (with their mental health or other issues), as well as young people who want to learn, grow and give back to their community.

Youthline offers a free 24/7 Helpline service (text, phone, webchat & email), free face-to-face counselling services, youth mentoring, programmes in schools and communities to help people grow and develop.

Youthline is a registered charity and we rely on the generous support of our partners, funders and supporters to continue to provide support to young New Zealanders.

Thank you so much 😊
