This is my first blog that I have posted since Andy and Deano have begun
blogging about the fields and interests they have in their chosen sports, for
example nutrition and weight lifting among many other topics.
Come September I will be entering a charity white collar boxing event
called zero to hero. Being a sporting enthusiast I have always been keen to try
my hand at boxing, although rugby is my bread and butter and the passion that drives me to train hard, I couldn’t let the
chance be lost for a dabble at boxing.
As this is a charity event I will be raising as much money as I can for
the Harvey Hext appeal. Since the fitness hubs reopening, I have been involved
in many different events to help raise much needed money for this extremely
local and worthy cause! And what a better way to help raise money and enter a
new field into the sporting world then the zero to hero event!!
Since breaking my elbow last November playing rugby no other, and having
reconstructive surgery to enable to have use of my arm again. I was told that I
would not be able to play any contact sport for the rest of my life. But
through much research and personal rehabilitation just 3 months after the
operation I was given the all clear and was able to return to rugby, which I
did and finished the season.
This is in no contrast what the family of the Harvey Hext appeal have to
go through every day of year, and even though at the time I was down and out,
it has only made me ever more grateful to have the life I live, the friends and
work colleges I have and the relationship I have with my girlfriend!
The fight night will be held in November this year, after a 10 week
training programme, as I am fighting for the Harvey Hext appeal no matter who I
am put up against I WILL NOT LOSE that is a promise I am willing to throw down.
I will be 110% committed to my training with extras from rugby conditioning and
people I work with. So Zero to Hero compotators watch this space and pray we
are not standing toe to toe, the fire in the belly is raging!!!!
Follow me on blogger and on the fitness hub face book page as I will be
regularly posting blogs and photos, as I progress through my training.
