On June 13th, I’ll be taking on a 110km ultra marathon in Carlisle to raise money for Phil Thomas School of Boxing.

I’ve been part of the gym since I was 12, and it’s had a positive impact on my life. Craig, Blenk, Ronnie and the other coaches have helped more people than I could ever count, for nothing other than helping others and the love of boxing.

People don’t see the hours Craig and the other lads put in from coaching sessions, supporting kids, and travelling up and down the country for championships.

The gym does more than boxing. It keeps kids off the streets, teaches discipline and respect, and gives both adults and kids some of the best memories they could have.

It would be nice if people could come together and support a place which gives so much back to the community. Any donation is hugely appreciated , thank you
