Blind Boxer Chasing His Dream, Support My Nationals Journey

Boxing isn’t just a sport to me it’s been my life since I was 5 years old. I’ve trained, fought, and poured everything I have into it. I’ve competed in over 50 amateur fights, won the 2023 STABA Championship, and even stepped into the ring at Nationals. But what makes my journey different is that I’ve done it all while being 75% blind.

Growing up with a visual impairment wasn’t easy. Neither was staying in the fight especially when I faced depression and other personal battles that pulled me away from the sport I loved. There were times I didn’t think I’d make it back, but boxing gave me purpose. It reminded me who I am and what I’m fighting for — not just in the ring, but in life.

Now, I’ve earned another shot: an invitation to the 2025 Summer Festival Nationals in Las Vegas from June 14–21. This is my chance to compete on one of the biggest stages in the country, to represent my city, and to keep chasing my dream of becoming a national champion.

But I can’t do it without your help.

Between gear, travel, food, and lodging, the costs add up fast — and every dollar donated helps me get one step closer to that ring. I’ve put in the work, the heart, and the hours. Now I’m asking you to be part of my team and help me finish what I started.

Thank you for believing in me. Let’s shine where it counts the most together.
