It might be a bit of a surprise to hear that I'm going to box in a charity tournament on June 7th.
It's so completely out of my comfort zone that I felt it was a serious challenge, and a serious way I could raise money for a local charity that I believe greatly in.
I became involved with local Ipswich charity FIND (families in need) a while back, and want to support their important work in the local community.
For more information on FIND visit http://www.findipswich.org.uk/
In a very basic summary, Maureen and her team of volunteers deliver help and support to the most vulnerable people in society. Most of the time these are families and people who have somehow fallen down the cracks between support services, or the services are under-funded and unable to help.
They help families, the Food Bank locally, as well as Rough Sleepers. This is a tough charity to run, often not glamorous, and not internationally important, and not particularly visible politically. But they deliver the kind of help that makes a real difference to people and their lives, on a completely personal level.
The charity tournament has a minimum donation of £400 to enter, all of which will go to FIND.
Any money raised over the £400 will be donated directly to FIND.
Thanks for sharing this journey with me, and I will post some pictures of the night (and results) on Facebook.
Thank you also to Matt Brennan, Robert Hodgins and Suffolk Punch Boxing Club for organising the event, and for donating the entire training programme in support of it. If you are based in the Ipswich area and would like to try boxing, then I highly recommend www.grangefitness.co.uk.
If you don't like any part of this, but would still like to support FINDs work, then please do make a donation for them at http://localgiving.com/charity/find

I've got a space on the banner that goes alongside the stage. A donation of £200 or more will mean I use your logo, and name you as corporate sponsor. I will also post social media mentions as well as after event thanks. There will be local press coverage as well, and I will try to make sure your name is included.
