Charity effort motivates members
HOSTING boxing events to raise money for sick children is boosting business for a gym operator, whose own daughter is battling cancer.
Gary Johnson owns Target Fitness in Hertfordshire, and is half way through staging a series of charity evenings, inviting his members to train for white-collar style boxing events held during gala dinners.
Ticket sales and auction proceeds are being put towards a fund to build a safe play barn for children with cancers, including Gary’s own toddler Madison, who was diagnosed with Leukemia two years ago.
