Garth Taylor takes to the boxing ring
Local singing star, Garth Taylor will be churning out hits of a different kind all in the name of charity.
The chart-topping artist is an avid fitness fanatic with kickboxing listed as his second passion.
On his latest fundraising effort for the Little Fighters Cancer Trust, a Childhood Cancer Charity which offers individualised and practical support to children fighting cancer, and their families, across South Africa.
Garth says, "After having my sister, Joanne, taken away from me by cancer, I have even more of a soft spot toward people who are fighting cancer. Having watched what she went through as an adult fighting this disease, I can only imagine how much worse it is for children who are suffering from cancer, to fight this battle. So, I figured, how bad can it be? Me, stepping into the ring and getting punched around for kids who are fighting for their lives every single day. I might as well see what I can do, if not through my singing, then by getting into the ring and doing something more exciting, so that people and companies pledge money and hopefully we can raise enough funds to help these little kids. I see cancer as a big bully hurting these children, and that is what I will be fighting for."
Pledges and donations to get Garth into the ring will be administered via an online fundraising platform, which will go live on various social media platforms on Friday, 24 June at 11:00. Once the target amount of R100 000.00, has been raised and/or pledged, Garth's boxing match, which will be part of "White Collar Boxing 14" will be confirmed and his opponent will be announced.
The "White Collar Boxing 14"-event will take place at Scarlet Ribbon in Greenstone Park.
