The Story

6 days ago

At 63, I never imagined I’d be stepping into a boxing ring… but here we are.

I’m a Spanish teacher here in Phuket; a husband to my wonderful wife Kadi Uma, and a very proud dad to Siska, Charlie and James.

Like many parents, I want children to feel safe, supported and hopeful about their future. That’s why I’ve signed up for this charity boxing event in Phuket - to help raise funds for orphaned and vulnerable children who need that support most.

The money will go towards the CFF (Children First Fund) which is a well-established charity based here in Phuket. The idea is to raise enough money to buy a mobile library which will then travel around the seven orphanages in Phuket offering the children the chance to read books which they would normally not have access to.

Training will take place over the next 12 weeks and promises to be tough (and humbling!), but if a few months of sore muscles and nerves can help make a real difference in many children's lives, then it’s more than worth it.

Fight night is May 9th 2026 in front of 400 people at the Angsana Hotel in Phuket.

Every donation, big or small, truly helps. Thank you for supporting the children, and for cheering on a slightly nervous 63-year-old stepping well outside his comfort zone.

Now… wish me luck. I will definitely need it!!!
