Blue Team at last nights weigh-in- everybody's looking shredded and ready to rock!
Cheers to everyone who's supported my training and fundraising over the last 8+ weeks. With your help, I've raised $1000 for the Bowel and Liver Trust. Here's to helping and inspiring other 'Gutsy Heroes'!
It's Fight Week! At our last Saturday training, we got to watch New Zealand heavyweight pro Joseph Parker prep for his upcoming fight.
The Charity Fight Night will be streamed live on the UCSA - University of Canterbury Students' Association facebook page from 6pm onwards. Mark your calendars and check your time zones- I'm the last bought of the evening on 22 July, set to go at 10:30pm NZDT.
It's not too late to donate to the Bowel and Liver Trust on my Givealittle page. I'm hoping to reach $1K before 6pm this Friday- thanks for helping me to reach my goal!
I hosted a Morning Tea fundraiser at the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) on Thursday, 7 July. Over $120 was donated to the Bowel and Liver Trust by students and staff from SBS- what tremendous community support! Over 30 attendees enjoyed a delicious spread of homemade baked goods and savories.
I'd like to say a special thank you for the huge support from my colleagues in the Freshwater Ecology Research Group, as well as support from students and staff in Biology. I promise to keep 'fighting the good fight'!
We've started sparring now. Training is getting more intense as we approach our fight night!
Thanks to all who have donated so far. Please keep those donations coming!
I've now started my third week of boxing training at Round 12 Boxing & Fittnes Gym in Christchurch. The UCSA Charity Fight Night is in less than 40 days! I'm excited to continue pushing myself mentally and physically to prepare for the event.
On 22 July, I will be participating in a charity boxing event sponsored by the University of Canterbury Students Association.
I'm proud to support my family and other families who suffer from bowel and liver diseases by fundraising for the Bowel and Liver Trust.
Official training for the fight night commences next week.
