Auchengiech Boxing Club is for the local community @ Prostate Cancer is dear to my heart.

Hi everyone and I hope this post finds each and every one of you in good health. The past year has been extremely hard for small businesses and sports clubs alike. Auchengeich Boxing Club has been a club helping the local community for the past 45 years with the custodians of the club before me facing their own challenges but we as a club have been faced with no income yet the bills associated with the club have still been paid. Unfortunately we haven’t qualified for any funding since we have had our doors closed last March. I’ve decided to set myself a challenge and at the same time raise some funds for the club and hopefully raise money for a very worthwhile cause which is Prostrate Cancer.

As you know I try my best to keep fit by training at the club but most of you might have noticed I decided to try cycling for the first time 2 years ago come this May 2021, this was as a result of having the local cycling club RCCK Road Club Cumbernauld & Kilsyth in to the gym during the winter months for the last 6 years to keep themselves fit during the time they can’t cycle as often as they would in the summer. Over the last 2 years I’ve managed a few 100 mile runs which if anyone reading this has done is a wee bit of an effort. So I’m going to take it up a notch and attempt to ride 200 miles on my own, with a few of my cycling club mates joining me for parts of the ride and I’ll also have a support van with a spare bike and food for the trip.

So please if you can spare any amount and I really mean any amount then please donate on our just giving page. The donations will be split between the club and Prostrate Cancer and in turn you will be helping the club survive to continue in our community and at the same time hopefully go some way to ending this horrible disease. The challenge will take place sometime in May hopefully with a huge tailwind. Take care everyone and thanks in advance. Joe & Auchengeich BC.
