Lily was my niece, my god-daughter and is still my inspiration.

After organising the last 4 Lily boxing events I decided it was time  to step through the ropes myself. Almost immediately I realised this was a bad idea. I am a boxer without speed, power, strength or stamina - I just hope I am good at fundraising!!! 

My opponent (Mark Scott - Sky Sports) is a fearsome competitor, he poses a dangerous jab and a heavy right hand. Wish me luck!!

Thank you for supporting me, and please see below for a bit more information about the Lily Foundation - a small charity doing amazing things.

The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.Did you know every twenty minutes a child is born who will develop Mitochondrial Disease by the age of 16! There is no cure for this disease which is for many, debilitating and life limiting.Please stand with us and fight Mitochondrial Disease and fight for hope.
