Support my fight for Cystic Fibrosis New Zealand!
Canterbury
Hi guys,
I'm super excited (and a little nervous) to be fighting in the University of Canterbury Students Association Charity Fight Night on 22nd July - yeah, that's right, I have to punch someone! And, for good measure, I'm taking a stab at Junk Free June (no choccy/sugary treats/processed yummies for me) to show you just how dedicated I am to this!
This is completely new and scary, and it will push me physically and mentally everyday - but that's why I'm doing it, and I know that my two months of hard work is nothing compared to what some New Zealanders with Cystic Fibrosis cope with on the daily.
For those not familiar, Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most prevalent genetic diseases in the world, and effects nearly every part of the body but is especially hard on the digestive system and the lungs!
As it stands, there's no cure for CF, and organisations like Cystic Fibrosis New Zealand work to support those affected by it and help fund research to improve the quality of life of sufferers and ultimately to find a cure. They're doing great things for some pretty bloody inspirational people out there, so help me to do something for them :)
I know a lot of you are students, and money is tight, but please give a little - even f it's in support of me getting smacked in the face, wanting to see me smack someone else in the face - to lend a hand to CF, even $3! I have to raise at least $500 to be able to compete, and anything being done for CF is worth so much more than that to those affected :)
Watch this space team, it should be interesting! Thanks for supporting me, and CF, I owe you one.
Lotsa love,
Soph xx
I'm supporting CFNZ because of the wonderful work they do in supporting those in the community affected by CF.
5 weeks to go! 16 June 2016
So we're three weeks down in training, and so far it's been the most fun but challenging exercise I've ever done... My knee issues are playing up something shocking so fingers crossed they settle down :) starting sparring and full on contact this coming week, so expect to see me a bit knocked around! Thank you all so much for your support - it means the world to me to have your support not only of me, but also of CF too! Soph xx
