Hey team, Mental Illness is no joke. Im fighting on Boxing Alley | Wood for the trees Charity Fight Night on November 24th.

Auckland

Mental illness is something that affects many kiwis. In New Zealand up to 50% of adults have suffered from a mental illness in their lives. That could be a colleague, friend or family member. Unfortunately the number of suicides in New Zealand is continuing to rise with 606 last year.

Wood For The Trees is a registered charity on a mission to help kiwis affected by mental illness. To do this they'll be providing funding to community organisations, creating awareness and open dialogue about mental illness, and to remove the stigma associated with it. Annually, Wood For The Trees will be running various activities such as boxing events, fishing competitions and the raffle of up to 6 brand-new Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

I've had my own personal struggles with mental illness so I know first hand how hard it can be. I am doing this fight to help Wood for the Trees to create awareness and raise money to help people in need. 606 people died of suicide last year which is FAR too many! Please give generously to a great cause. Boom!
