On April 21, White Collar Boxing is hosting the 'Zero 2 Hero Fight Night'.
The event is the culmination of a journey which will see gym members, all of whom were complete novices, step into the ring for their first ever competitive fight. A truly amazing feat.
The bravery of these 'Zero 2 Hero' warriors aims to mirror the bravery of those suffering a variety of mental health conditions, and the journeys and challenges they themselves face, at times to complete even the seemingly simplest of tasks.
To celebrate what our fighters will achieve, and to support a cause close to all of our hearts, as a gym, as fighters and through our friends and family, we are collectively looking to raise $5,000 for Beyond Blue.
We ask you to dig deep and show what we can achieve when we all come together to support bravery in its many guises.
In Australia, it's estimated that 45 per cent of people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. In any one year, around 1 million Australian adults will experience depression, and over 2 million, anxiety.
It ain't weak to speak.
