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.
The challenge of completing something new excites me. Having played numerous sports In my life, I have always found the need for the next 'big thing' and see the physically demanding nature of boxing something to add to what I have done. I am excited and nervous by the challenge that is being presented, and need to prove to myself that I CAN do this. Boxing is so far removed from what I have done previously that I am 100% out of my comfort zone and cannot wait to prove to myself what I am capable of.
But it is about a lot more than just what happens in the ring and the chance to raise some serious money for the Bruce Grant Youth Trust also excites me - so please show your support for what I am doing by pledging, even just a little, to the trust.
