Putting my body on the line in the hope to raise money for suicide prevention

Some of you may or may not know that I'm currently training in the hope to get in the ring as part of a suicide prevention boxing fundraiser for The Key to Life Charitable Trust.

Over a period of 14 and half weeks, myself as well as others will be spending our mornings training out of Dan Hooker's gym, Combat Academy to try and prepare ourselves not only physically but mentally for something that a lot of us have never done before.

Am I scared...of course, but I remind myself each morning that it must be even scarier for those who find themselves under a dark cloud and can't see their way out.

The Key to Life Charitable Trust is behind a number of great initiatives including, I AM HOPE, Gumboot Friday, Heavy Hitters and so much more.

Sadly we lose too many New Zealanders to suicide and The Key to Life Charitable Trust works with people that might be having a hard time dealing with their inner critic and helps support them by teaching them that it's ok to talk about the difficult things in life.

Please help show your support by donating to a cause that is here to save lives.
