Doing It For Charity...

in #charity6 years ago

I am planning to take part in a UWCB boxing event this summer for Cancer Research UK. I have taken part in charitable events before, but never one like this, I have zero boxing ability, problem is I dont have the required boxing gear to train. I am unemployed, I have been since moving to this area almost a year ago, so really cant afford the required equipment, i dont even get benefits so £50 is a lot of money to me and difficult to raise, but that's what I need to be involved in the fundraiser event, i was unaware of this before signing up35531062_250765455658216_5674584261185765376_n.jpg... Normally i would seek sponsor for the event, but without the equipment required I cant participate and would lose the opportunity to raise more for such a noble charity. Instead of asking you good people for sponsors I am instead asking for any donation big or small to help me hit my £50 target before the start of training 17/07/18. I would even accept the required kit as a donation or loan, I need

*1 pair 16oz boxing gloves (black, white, red, blue, purple, orange, green, pink or yellow)

*1 pair of high quality stretch hand wraps

*1 gumshield with case

being a non boxer/sporty person who is new to the area I dont have these this readily available nor know anyone who does. Combined, the items would cost considerably more than my target of £50 but the organisers have arranged package deals for participants which contain all the above gear at a special price of £40

I know Ive aimed to raise £50 but that takes into consideration the fees that are taken by go fund me. I need to have a minimum of £40 or the above gear before the deadline of 17/07/18. All donations gratefully recieved to help me on my quest. Thank you
