Gemma's 5K to raise money for Eccles Boxing School

Just shy of 2 years ago the rug was pulled from underneath me when a benign (thank God) pituitary tumour was found, this along with excess pressure in my eyes and brain have resulted in surgery, numerous tests, lumbar punctures and a lot of stress with visits to different consultants at different hospitals. Fast forward two years and although this is something that will never fully go away, I thankfully am in a much better place both mentally and physically. This partly being down to losing weight and getting healthier.

This is where Eccles Boxing school comes into play. At first it was just for Mason, who practically lives there and is boxing for the club, but then I started the women's classes and honestly can't thank Tracey and Bri enough. The constant support and guidance during what has no doubt been one of the toughest battles I've had to face has been nothing short of amazing. It's not just a gym, it's a community and anyone who has hikes up those stairs, knows exactly what I'm talking about.

So I would like to give something back to the club, so on Saturday 5th July 2025, I am running/ crawling/ truffle shuffling a 5K which is precisely from my house in Claremont to the gym in Eccles. I've never been a runner, but there is no backing out now!

As a family the EBS community means the absolute world to us so any help to keep it thriving would be much appreciated!

Love
