“A Fight For Murphy”
The St Catharines Boxing Club will be holding a boxing show Friday Oct 14, 2011 at the Merritton Community Centre “Fight for Murphy”, doors open at 6pm. This is a fundraiser for SCBC coach Keith Murphy who has MS, he has been battling this disease for 21 years, I think everyone has seen the movie “The Fighter” a true life story of boxer Mickey Ward. Keith is a fighter too, everyday he hast to fight for what most people take for granted, fight to walk, fight to see and most important fight for his dignity, will you fight alongside him?
There will also be a Chinese auction and Silent auction, plus a great night of White Collar Boxing; these are not your everyday amateur boxers, these are just ordinary people just like you and me. They have set aside their time to train just for this event, so come out and support the event and also have a great time.
