Show your support for my venture into the boxing ring by donating whatever you can afford to the Bruce Grant Youth Trust.

Otago

Olympic skier, mountaineering great, extreme sportsman and extraordinary individual, Bruce Grant was a Queenstown adventurer whose special attitude to life touched this community.

Bruce died after reaching the summit of K2 in the Himalayas on August 13, 1995. His death was keenly felt in Queenstown and a trust was set up to preserve his legacy and to recognise the efforts of young people who displayed a similar passion for life and desire to achieve.

In the fifteen years since it was established, the Bruce Grant Youth Trust has distributed over $250,000 to the young people of the Wakatipu. And so the legend lives on.

Help us keep the legend alive and to provide even more support to our aspiring local youth by donating to this worthy cause.

Thriller Charity Boxing Event's involvement (page creator)

I wanted to be a contender in honour of my dad who died last year after battling cancer for 4 years. He was the strongest man that I knew and I want to show to people that I have the same strength that he had. I'm hoping to find the same qualities in myself throughout the difficult training regime and take that into the ring.

I am committed to the challenge 100% and would love if you could show your support by donating to my page
