I'm dealing and receiving punches for Charity

Given by 21 generous donors in 7 weeks

I've attended 4 funerals in my lifetime, 2 of which were suicides, so I personally feel like I need to make a difference.

Wellington

Who am I fighting for?

"Three families lose a family member to suicide every two days". The Key To Life Charitable Trust champions education on mental health with a focus on understanding experience and addressing NZ's suicide rates.

How am I getting ring ready?

I'm training with the Blue Team at Wellington Boxing gym http://www.wellingtonboxing.com/ three times a week, with extra sessions where I can. It's gruelling, to say the least, but my teammates and coaches keep me going and my back and shoulders are looking ripped.
