I'm taking on Thriller in the Villa 2026 to raise money for Sands, a charity that provides vital support to families affected by the loss of a baby. Any support is hugely appreciated.

Thriller in the Villa is a fun event for the Island's community, providing a platform for local fundraising. The event sees local volunteers embrace the challenge of stepping into the boxing ring and raising funds for their chosen charity in the Villa Marina's Royal Hall in Douglas, Isle of Man.

I chose to take part in Thriller in the Villa 2026 because I wanted to challenge myself, push well outside my comfort zone, and do something positive while raising money for a charity that means a great deal to my family.

I have chosen to support Sands because they were there for my sister and our family when she sadly lost her baby. During one of the most difficult times imaginable, the support and compassion they provided made a real difference. Having experienced first-hand the impact of the charity's work, choosing Sands was an easy decision.

I have also supported Sands through fundraising in the past, and taking part in Thriller in the Villa gives me another opportunity to raise awareness and vital funds so they can continue helping other families facing similar heartbreak.

The months of training will be tough, but every session and every round in the ring will be worthwhile if it helps Sands continue the incredible work they do.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help Sands continue providing support, guidance, and hope to bereaved families when they need it most.

Thank you for supporting me, supporting Sands, and helping me take on the challenge of Thriller in the Villa 2026.
