On 27th October I will be stepping into a boxing ring at the Europa Hotel on behalf of Aware NI.

Eight weeks of intensive training started on 6th September to prepare me and almost 30 other volunteers for our challenge. Very few of us have boxed before.

I'd be grateful if you could donate anything you can - even if it's just because you enjoy the thought of me being thumped round the ring!

Tickets will also be available to view on the night - details to follow.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
