It's been a few days now since Fight 4 the Cause VII - Charity Boxing Gala, and wow. What an experience. I wanted to let it all sink in before posting about it,... but it's still impossible to describe. Hopefully this video can help. A few things I will never forget: 1) The Red Devils. Boxing is an individual sport, but this event required the 14 of us to be a team, grinding through the 6am training sessions, endless cardio rounds, and learning the fundamentals together. I only knew these people for 8 weeks but now they all feel like kids I grew up with. 2) The Coaches. It would have been really easy for them to just go through the motions, but they went above and beyond. Huge shout outs to Bryan Colwell, Noraye Fjeldstad, and Alexi Argyriou for not bursting out in laughter the first time they saw my lanky ass throw a punch. You guys made this fun. 3) My Opponent. Nothing prepares you for stepping up in to the ring and looking in to the eyes of a man that was put there with the sole intention of punching you. I've got the deepest respect for Alex Lavrinenko for getting in there and battling. Special shout outs to Spartan Media Group Inc. for the amazing video work, Katie Wallis for dealing with a house that smelled like sweaty boxing gear for 8 weeks, and Studio 4 Athletics for organizing the event. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get as far outside of their comfort zone as possible. Thanks for following the journey

The 7th Fight 4 the Cause - Charity Boxing is online now! #studio4athletics #F4TC #fight4thecause #charityboxing

So for anyone who's been asking what I've been training for, I feel this paragraph sums it up nicely. Fight 4 the Cause VII - Charity Boxing Gala is a charity b...oxing event that helps raise funds for 4 charitable organizations: Help Fill A Dream Foundation, Bridges Women's Shelter, Esquimalt Firefighters Charitable Foundation and the Brazilian Cultural Foundation. We are officially halfway through our 8-week training camp, which consists of intense training sessions from the early hours of the morning and repeated in the late hours of every evening. Studio 4 Athletics has become my second home over the last few weeks, and my teammates have become a source of inspiration and motivation. Nothing like being surrounded by a group of people crazier than you to keep you pushing forward. It has been a brutal physical and mental beating so far, but I'm nowhere near quitting. Fight night is December 1st at the Empress convention centre. There are two ways you can help donate to the cause. One, by buying tickets to the fight itself and watching me get punched in the face (very tempting, I know), or two, click this link https://www.fight4thecause2018.ca/lite-ui/?controller=home , click on your fav fighter, and follow the instructions from there. We sincerely appreciate your donations and hope to make this year's event the most successful of them all. And thank you Spartan Media Group Inc. for documenting our intense journey, and iHealth for sponsoring my training. #fight4thecause #studio4athletics #Bluebombers Bridges for WomenEsquimalt Fire Fighters IAFF 4264 See more
