I am taking part in a white collar MMA fight to raise money for Healing Waves.

The fight camp began in September, and is 12 weeks of intensive training before we eventually step into the octagon on November 9th at Radisson Square Garden for Rumble on the Rock.

I’ve chosen Healing Waves as my charity of choice, and would like to raise £500 towards the great work that they do on our Island and in our oceans!

The charity enables individuals (despite their condition and/or disability both neurological and physical) to access the ocean in a safe way to participate in water sport activities. This is so they can experience the therapeutic benefits that the ocean holds for us all.

Healing Waves offer Ocean Therapy through guided surf, paddle and flow sessions. These water sports are used as a vessel, assisting our athletes in gaining more self-confidence, communication, whilst providing therapy and respite for all that attend. Water sports can stimulate the ‘stoke’ like feeling, a sense of accomplishment and empowerment to our athletes as families, friends and carers cheer them on from the sidelines. They also accept loved ones and carers to participate in sessions, helping to strengthen the often strained bonds that are vital to healthy relationships.

Any donations are gratefully received!
