Thanks for visiting my page. A few years ago it was my pleasure to work with Chris Wellesley, whom many of you will know from his time in the City. Through getting to know him, I became aware of his incredible fundraising activities on behalf of his daughter Skye. Skye suffers from Rett's Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder which almost solely affects girls - if you'd like to know more then I urge you to read this mother's account: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/rett-syndrome-hannah-is-painfully-aware-of-her-limitations-8564928.html

In 2010 another close friend's son was diagnosed with Prader Willi Syndrome, another genetic disorder which will require much long-term support and care: http://www.pwsa.co.uk/index.php/what-is-pws

A key reason for me supporting these 2 causes is that continuing research does offer effective treatments and hope for a cure one day. And why am I boxing? I think the simple reason is the sheer number of people that would like to see me punched offers the greatest potential for fundraising....as many of you know boxing training is one of the hardest disciplines there is - I'm asking you to sponsor my efforts getting into the ring (there will literally be blood and sweat to add to the tears that have already been shed in the training) and to keep me focused. In case you want to see what one of these events looks like - here's the last one: {http://www.brawl.st/brawl-street-the-grange-hotel-highlights/}

The Macquarie Foundation have kindly agreed to match all donations so every £1 donated will mean £2 for these charities

thank you for your kind support.
