Show your support for my venture into the boxing ring by donating whatever you can afford to the Bruce Grant Youth Trust.
Otago
Olympic skier, mountaineering great, extreme sportsman and extraordinary individual, Bruce Grant was a Queenstown adventurer whose special attitude to life touched this community.
Bruce died after reaching the summit of K2 in the Himalayas on August 13, 1995. His death was keenly felt in Queenstown and a trust was set up to preserve his legacy and to recognise the efforts of young people who displayed a similar passion for life and desire to achieve.
In the fifteen years since it was established, the Bruce Grant Youth Trust has distributed over $250,000 to the young people of the Wakatipu. And so the legend lives on.
Help us keep the legend alive and to provide even more support to our aspiring local youth by donating to this worthy cause.
Thriller Charity Boxing Event's involvement (page creator)
After competing in Thriller last year I felt as though I was a better person not just physically but mentally as well. I believe it strongly helped my business to improve as every day I was clearer and fresher minded. I don't want to say this year I want redemption and win (although that would be a bonus!) as now I realize it really wasn't about winning or losing, I already feel like a winner from last year just for getting through and the positive changes it made to my life. The people of Queenstown will hopefully love to see me in the ring again and hopefully they will also donate loads of money to the Bruce Grant Youth Trust to support me in this challenge
