In October I will be running 5 marathons for the Ringside Charitable Trust. Chester, Manchester, Liverpool and possibly Bruges (although that last one may not happen due to travel restrictions). I'll also be running the Potteries Marathon route, and if Bruges doesn't happen I'll do the Potteries route twice (forwards and in reverse, the route not me).

'It's about changing how we care for our boxing family'

The Ringside Charitable Trust plans to deliver a residential home for ex boxers. The charity hopes to deliver the home within three years and carry on for many more.

For many years concern has been expressed for the countless boxing personnel who find themselves suffering from depression, alcohol dependency, injuries and illnesses attributed to boxing. Ringside Charitable Trust hope to change the way we care for our boxing family. The vision for the home is to include medical help, facilities for ex boxers to be cared for both short and long term, a cinema room for the boxers to watch films of their old fights and a non alcoholic bar where they can sit together and reminisce. There is initial funding in place but the cost of sustaining the home is estimated at £1.5 million per year. Many boxers have entertained us over the decades, and many now need our help in hard times. This is our opportunity to raise funds for the Ringside Charitable Trust Care Home, a fantastic project to establish a thirty-six bed residential care facility which will be of enormous benefit to those who sadly have no means of support in dark times.
