Hi everyone,
I know that there are approximately 127 of these posts every week, but I would like to share something that I am doing to raise funds, in this instance for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich.
In September I will be fighting in a charity boxing bout, at a white collar boxing event at Trinity Park. I have never fought before, so will be stepping into the ring for the very first time on the night.
I am doing this to raise money for the Hospice, which is where my father passed away in 2021.
The Hospice is an independent Suffolk charity, which every year delivers care to over 3,000 patients and their families.
These services cost £12.9m to facilitate each year, and the Hospice is heavily reliant on donations.
100% of the money that I raise through donations will go to the charity.
Of course times are tough for everyone from a financial point of view, and I appreciate that I am a complete internet stranger to the vast majority of yourselves, but if anyone would like to support the Hospice via myself taking part in the event then really anything at all would be greatly appreciated by myself and the Hospice.
I've just set up the page and I hope to raise a minimum of £500 over the coming weeks (not all via TWTD!).

Thank you for reading.
Jon. |  |

Only a fiver but hope it counts as you get many more.
Plenty of time until September though so get on with the training.
We'll have a World Champ before we know it! |  |

BUMP
£695 raised since beginning my fundraising page.
Three weeks until the fight.
If anyone reading this today has any spare pennies they would like to donate for the Hospice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again to those who have supported. | |

Bump.
Edit: over £900 with the gift aid so well played OP.
Be good to get to the thousand if possible.
Wonder if admin would be so kind as to sticky this for a few days. I'm sure it's a cause most of us feel we can associate with.

Just another fiver towards the grand.
Dunno why you don't ask to get the thread stickied for a couple of days. | |

All adds up! 
To be fair Phil/Gav did pin it to the top for a few days when I first posted. | |

Just saw your donation. Thank you.
Re the 'good luck' message, the fight was on Saturday just gone. I lost on a split decision.
My nickname, apparently, is 'Boom Boom', which I didn't choose myself. I didn't even realise I had a nickname until the day. | |

Your dad would be proud of you.
It's a great way to honour his memory and a wonderfully thoughtful thing to do for other people too. | |
