Foundation moments

corporate support

We continue to welcome corporate donors.

mission & vision

To help knock-out childhood cancer, and give the kids a normal life free from fear of the future.

My motivation is the children. Period. I spent many years fighting in the ring, but never met tougher fighters than the young ones who fight for their lives everyday.  People ask me to come and speak to the children for inspiration, but in fact for me it's the other way round.

volunteering
