pink collar boxing at aston villa football ground · 8 November 2014

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The money I raise will go towards the new childrens cancer ward for a little boy named Olly Hemmings he is part of our family  he has cancer in hes leg he had a opp  and is now having radiotherapy for 6 weeks and chemo for the next year he whent up to the big teen ward and its all nice and new. lets give the little ones the same with a nice new ward bright and fun place to go and stay 

please give as little or as much as you can.

I will be tranning as hard as I can for 8 weeks for the kids and Olly.

  • I will fight for 3, 2 minute rounds for the kids and there familys
