Kates boxing to beat cancer!!

Created By Kate Higgins
On Saturday 1st November 2025, I’ll be stepping into the boxing ring for the UWCB fight night at Planet Ice, Milton Keynes. After 8 weeks of training, I’ll be putting on the gloves, not just for the challenge, but to raise money for Cancer Research UK – a cause close to my heart.

Cancer has deeply touched my family.
In 2013, my Mum was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer. She bravely went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy – and after five long years in remission, she was finally cleared. But in late 2024, she was diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time. With fewer treatment options available, she needed more surgery which was more major this time around, followed by daily medication and another five-year remission journey. Once again, she’s shown incredible strength and has beaten cancer for the second time.

At the same time, my father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer in late 2024. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and continues to fight his own battle with courage and strength.

Sadly, I know too many others who have also been impacted by this disease. That’s why I want to use this fight to give back – to raise vital funds so that one day, fewer families will have to go through what mine and so many others have faced.

Any donation, big or small, would mean so much – not just to me, but to all those still fighting, those we’ve lost, and those we hope to protect in the future.

Together, we can make a difference.

Also, if you would like to come and watch me fight tickets will be released on Friday 5th September @ 10am, if you drop me a message I will be sending all those interested a reminder once they are available :)
