As many of you will know Gemma has been diagnosed with a Stage 4 brain tumour and is currently undergoing an intensive chemo and radiography programme. She was diagnosed in January after feeling unwell, the doctors originally thought that the tumour was benign, but after doing more tests it was revealed that it was Grade 4 so she needed to start treatment straight away. She is also looking into alternative treatments all over the world to get the best possible outcome for herself and her family and friends.

Gemma is 38 and lives in Marton with her husband, former footballer Graeme, and her children Grayson, six and Hadley, three.

Gemma's positivity throughout this difficult time has been incredible and the money raised already shows what a well loved person she is.

I will be boxing in the Punching4Pounds G2 Event on Saturday 13th July in order to help raise as much money as we can to help get Gemma and her family the treatment she needs to beat this awful disease. Please give what you can...
