RINGSIDE REST AND CARE FUNDRAISING FIRE WALK

On July 9th Team Southpaw Jab’s Ricky Heavens and Adam Thorn will be joining a group of familiar boxing faces to help raise money for Ringside Rest and Care. The charity (see mission statement below) have already done a sponsored skydive, and towering abseil and this time will be walking over blistering hot coals for cash!

Please give what you can to help this worthy cause, which is all about post-career care for fighters by clicking on this link:

GO FUND ME PAGE: BOXERS’ FIREWALK

“For many years concern has been expressed for the countless boxing personnel who find themselves suffering from depression, alcohol dependency, injuries and illnesses attributed to boxing. Ringside Charitable Trust, hope to change the way we care for our boxing family. The vision for the home is to include medical help, facilities for ex boxers to be cared for both short and long term, a cinema room for the boxers to watch films of their old fights and a non alcoholic bar where they can sit together and reminisce.

There is initial funding in place but the cost of sustaining the home is estimated at £1.5 million per year. Many boxers have entertained us over the decades, and many now need our help in hard times. This is our opportunity to raise funds for The Ringside Charitable Trust, a fantastic project to establish a thirty-six bed residential care facility which will be of enormous benefit to those who sadly have no means of support in dark times.”
