Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So guys on the 25th July 2019 I am lacing up the gloves one final time, boxing in London’s Trent Park, Cockfosters, raising money for MIND mental health charity. This isn’t a comeback, it’s just one last fight as I’m certainly not getting any younger!!

There are so many reasons very close to my heart why I feel compelled to do this. Over the last year a few people whom I knew extremely well, one a very close friend, have suffered at the hands of depression / mental health and as a direct result a some of them have tragically lost their life, one aged only 35 years! 

Unbeknown to most people and for many reasons I have also spent the last few years battling depression and anxiety and have spent many years on medication attempting to control it. Just over a year ago I managed to pull myself out of the dark hole that is depression and completely come off my medication and now I want to do my bit to help others. In my experience you don’t ever completely go back to “normal” you just learn how to control your demons, but this can only be done by talking to others and asking for help and support, only then does it start to get better!

If me doing this helps just one person then I’ll be happy. So let’s keep talking to each other, help each other, be kind and help end the stigma of mental health!

Thank you to everyone for your support and hopefully see a few of you on the 25th July. 🙏🏼 🥊X
