Fight for Charity 2023 – Jill Livingston

Hello everyone!

My name is Jill Livingston and i am proud to announce that i will be participating in the 2023 Fight For Charity boxing event.

This years donations will be used to support the Canadian Mental Health Association. (CMHA).

Between my families descent of a long line of mental illness, watching close friends struggle, and navigating my own mind, my passion for this cause comes from the heart.

My love for health and fitness has guided me through betterment over the years and led me to meet my trainer and friend, Kyle Oliveira. Together we trained boxing mitt & pad work the past couple summers where I immediately fell in love with the sport.

I am a firm believer that experience is our best teacher…. Over the next 12 weeks i am ready to embrace discomfort to gain personal growth while supporting a good cause…. How many people can say they’ve gotten in the ring before ?!

Please help support myself and the Canadian Mental Health Association as i compete in my first ever amateur boxing event!

LETS FIGHT BABY !!!

The Canadian Mental Health Association has a vision for "A Manitoba where mental health is honored as a universal human right." CMHA serve everyone from youth to adults/seniors. Their programs help individuals and families to lead lives filled with meaning and promise. They are a champion for mental health and exist so that Manitobans are mentally healthy, have access to the resources they need to thrive and when a person experiences mental health distress or illness, they have timely access to support for their resilience and recovery.

Research shows that one in three individuals will experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Four in five will have family, friends or colleagues who experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Mental illness is very common and is too often downplayed because many people are uncomfortable talking about it. Everyone benefits from good mental health, perhaps now, or in the future, you, your friends or your family may benefit from CMHA's services. For more information on their services/support, please visit their website at https://mbwpg.cmha.ca/

We are so excited to be partnering with CMHA for the 2023 event, and our fundraising goal to raise for them is $50,000. Please help us get there by donating anything you can to this worthy cause and sharing this page. Every dollar counts!!
