Hello, and welcome to my poorly chosen fundraiser!

6 MINUTES.   3 ROUNDS.   1 DUBIOUS WOMAN...

So after a full month of trying and failing to talk myself out of it, I've  signed up to take part in an amateur boxing event. I have no arm strength and am terrified of getting hit in the face, but I've committed now so apparently it's happening!

But why is it happening?

Statistics:

48,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year. It's the biggest cause of death in women aged 35-54 and is the most common cancer in the UK.

Every month, 1000 people in the UK die from the disease. 

Last year three of my closest friends lost their mums because of it. 

Breast cancer is absolutely devastating and all we can do about it is support the research for treatment and prevention. So let's do that.

I'm raising money for Against Breast Cancer, which is a charity researching ways to stop secondary spread - the biggest cause of breast cancer related deaths. 

See what your donation could be spent on:  https://www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk/our-research/where-your-donation-goes/

Me getting punched in the face isn't going to stop the spread of cancer, but I am willing to take a pounding for the cause. Please support it with your pennies. <3
