We personally found this story very moving and believe it is a great inspirational piece which brings the effects of bullying home to us but then regenerates us in the sense that it proves bullying can be overcome.
Impact Young Heroes!! 100 rounds of sparring to raise money for the charity.
Andy Olsen and his brother James, (James has Downs Syndrome and has managed to uphold regular training in his chosen sport for several years) arranged to do a charity 100 rounds kickboxing sparring fund raiser in order to raise money for a very creditable charity. They are trying to raise £10,000 for the “Impact Young Heroes” charity (Charity number: 1122871). The charity was set up in 2005, with the aim of helping vulnerable young people living with cancer. The venue for this event was the home of The Bradford Bulls Rugby League side, Odsal Stadium at Bradford.
Cris Janson-Piers, the President of WAKO Pro attended the event as referee and supervisor and took part of his team to help support the cause. Our patron Kerry-Louise was also in attendance.
A great day was had by all
