On the 30th June I will be climbing through the ropes to take part in a white collar boxing event, all in the aid of raising money for the Princess Alexandra Hospital Breast Charity Clinic.

This charity is very close to my heart, having lost someone recently to breast cancer . I would appreciate your donations in order to help my chosen charity continue to provide an incredible service to its patients and support for family members during their treatment.

My training will start on the 17th April and over the course of 10 weeks I will put my body through some of the most intense training it has seen for years and take on my opponent for three 1.5 minutes rounds.

The battle that I will face over those 10 weeks will no doubt incur, blood, sweat and tears. However, whatever pain I may endure, it will be nothing compared to the courage shown by the people affected by this disease and the heroes that work on a daily basis at the Princess Alexandra Hospital Breast Charity Clinic.
