Hello everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those who don't know, I've gone and accidentally signed myself up for a boxing match on March 3rd. Yes, really.

It would have been very easy for me to opt out immediately, but after looking into the causes, I'd love to do something that terrifies me. The charity that White Collar Fight Club is supporting is Mind, a mental health charity accessible around the UK for the 1 in 4 people who suffer with mental health issues every year. 

I am the 1 in 4.

After recently being diagnosed with EUPD, I'm finally on my journey to help myself get better. It's a problem I've been experiencing for I suppose as long as I can remember, but receiving a diagnosis has helped me to understand that some of these things are things I can't help. It's not as scary as it sounds, and I really don't want anyone reading this to treat me any differently! But I thought it would be a great opportunity to "come out" to the world, to start the conversation of mental health. I would love if people would start the conversation with me and if you have any questions or have anything to discuss to do with mental health, I would be more than happy to talk about it!

So, am I mad to be taking 8 weeks intensive training to then fight someone in a boxing match, considering I've never hit anyone in my life? Yes, absolutely. But I would LOVE the support from friends, family and giving strangers. 

I am intending to post updates of my training so you can see what I get up to and how ridiculous this all is. I need to raise at least £50 to participate, but I'd love to absolutely smash the goal. The top fundraiser also wins a prize worth £1200! I also would like to offer the top donator the option to choose my fight name. I've settled on Natural Disaster for now, but it can be whatever you want it to be. 

I also need to sell 20 tickets in order to participate. Please, please come and support me on March 3rd if you would like to watch me attempt to beat someone up, and best of all, there's a HUGE private after party afterwards that you're invited to with your ticket! Tickets can be bought HERE:

Am I mad? Yes, completely. I am terrified. But I want to push myself out of my comfort zone. Whether you can attend the fight on March 3rd, or donate a small amount, I want to stop the stigma around mental health. Thank you!
