Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My sister lost her hideous battle with cancer three years ago, and I've wanted to do something out of the ordinary that would push me to my limit while raising some money for Cancer Research UK. This is so far out of my comfort zone that it's scary. Someone once said "The only thing that is stopping you from getting where you are to where you want to go is your comfort zone!". So I'm stepping out of mine big time!

Anyone who knows me will know that I'm not a physical or remotely aggressive individual, and I'm also not a million miles off turning 50 years old. So what the hell am I doing?! Damn good question!

I've signed up to fight in an Ultra MMA bout on 15th November in Bournemouth.

Ultra MMA bouts are against evenly matched (weight, age, experience) amateurs, all for charity. Fights are contested over 3 rounds of 2 minutes with 1 minute intervals. I have precisely zero experience of fighting MMA, but thankfully will receive 8 weeks of intense fight training before the bout.
