Story

To mark my 7 years working for Empire Fighting Chance, I’m taking it right back to the first fundraising event I completed and taking on the Bristol Half Marathon! 🏃🏽

At Empire Fighting Chance we use a powerful combination of psychologically informed non-contact boxing to challenge and inspire the way young people think and behave.

We work with young people impacted by the brutal effects of inequality, supporting them to build upon their existing strengths to realise their unique potential.

Our team of coaches support vulnerable young people aged 8-25 who are experiencing poor mental health and behavioural issues, such as gang membership and school exclusion. With Empire, young people gain support in ways that are natural and enjoyable, encouraging them to turn up, trust us, and make positive changes.

With the support of Empire Fighting Chance, young people are returning to school, entering employment, exiting gangs, and improving their mental health. By sponsoring my Half Marathon challenge today you can enable Empire to continue transforming young lives through boxing 🥊
