Shelley's fundraiser for Blood Cancer UK

Shelley Blackburn is raising money for Blood Cancer UK

Charity Fight Night · 12 December 2025

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

I have never been one of those people who loves working out - sweating buckets and calling it “fun” has never been my thing!

Then in June 2024, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphatic Leukaemia. It was terrifying at first, but once I got my head around it, I decided to take control - eat better, move more, and most importantly, stop feeling “vulnerable.”

So I took up kickboxing, partly to avoid the gym, but mostly to feel strong again. And I absolutely loved it! Each session made me stronger, not just physically but mentally too.

Now I am stepping into the ring for my first-ever boxing fight, all to raise money for Blood Cancer UK. Please support me by hitting the donate button - every punch, bruise, and bead of sweat will be worth it!
