How far are you willing to go to raise money for charity? A charity-walk? A sponsored cake-sale? How about stepping into a boxing ring for the first time in front of six hundred people? That’s the prospect that lies in store for twenty fool-hardy and charity friendly hub area residents on March 2nd. Having volunteered to participate they are currently in training to acquire enough fitness and boxing skills to wow the crowd and raise money for a hard working charity.
