Why I box

"Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope." Charles Darwin

My goal is to help researchers get the resources needed to focus their efforts on finding a cure for cancer. 

My fight is personal on many levels.  Cancer has affected everyone in some form. Six degrees of separation are not needed for anyone to connect to the dreaded disease. 

I am fighting in memory of those that have not won their fight. 

Juliana "JuJu" Greenfield, gained her wings in June of 2019 at the young age of 5, after a fearless and courageous battle with Neuroblastoma Pediatric Cancer.  The niece of one my oldest friends was a fighter and battled to the end.  

I am fighting to give strength and support to those that continue to fight.

I fight for my Father, who is battling prostate cancer. He will battle and win HIS fight.

I am fighting to honor those that have won their fight. 

I fight for Carly. She is the 10 year old daughter of one of my dearest friends. She has recently succeeded in her battle with WILMS stage 3 kidney Cancer by getting a clear diagnosis of clinical remission.  Her journey  and the way she has handled it are inspiring to so many. Her strong, organic and completely head on manner that she took on HER fight  can be seen during this interview. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB22yHrP4QA) 

It was at this point that I knew I wanted to do something more. Not just to honor my family and friends, but to really make my mark against this insidious disease. 

Today I train and Fight for:

The Greenfield Family Foundation that supports Neuroblastoma Pediatric Cancer Research and the families battling this disease.

Christopher's Haven.  A home for kids and their families while they battle cancer. This home is more than a place to stay, it’s a support system to help with things large and small, and a community where families can be together, share a laugh, be comforted, and comfort others while fighting.
