Training for 8 weeks in the icy cold evenings, boxing contender style, then fight. Funds and awareness for "Depression Support Network".

Canterbury

I'm not giving up, I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight for those who may feel like giving up. I'm becoming a Contender.

I'm going to give up 1 hour of my evening 5 days a week, give up my Saturday morning. No sitting on the couch watching " insert favourite show " for me. Out in the cold, training, is where I will be. Ive purchased the gloves, payed the 8 weeks of training and joined the Contenders Club at 1moreround.

This is going to be one of the most physically and mentally challenging things I have ever done in my life, a small price to sacrifice in my life, to help someone else's.

I decided to do "The Contender" as I love a challenge.

Many of us, our family, our friends, our co-workers, feel totally absorbed and defeated by the challenge that is life. We have all felt it at some stage, and we have all ignored witnessing it from someone we know.

I decided to fundraise for the depression support network, as they can help someone, when we feel we cant.

Too often we slap each other on the back, "youll be right", a lot of the time, more is required, professional help, the team at DSN can help support those that we cannot.

Ive decided, will you? Please provide a bit of support, for those who provide the support.
