Personal Challenge

Ollie Wood's arduous journey to a fight.

  • 13/02/2017 - 31/05/2017

"Frankie goes to..." Ollie Wood is participating in IPP White Collar Boxing Singapore April 2017
and is fundraising for Children's Surgical Centre

Do a charity money. I'll do a fight.

My Story

So here it is. I finally decided to pull my finger out and do something for charity (ish.)

I'll be perfectly honest, the charity was not much of a consideration when I first sent in my application to take part in the white collar boxing. My story begins some time back.

To cut a long story short: over the years I've suffered from a terrible dual affliction. I am exceptionally annoying while also supporting a very punch-able face. While I can do very little indeed to lessen these I realised that I could possibly learn to limit the damage somewhat.

When I saw the advert searching for this year's cohort it seemed like an opportune moment.

I also saw it as a chance to get in shape which might increase the possibility of making me somewhat more acceptable to the fairer sex.
I also saw it as a chance to provide some entertainment for my friends - especially those who are not averse to the idea of me getting a punch or two.

They also said something about charity and I SAID "OK, JEEZ GET OFF MY CASE" and realised I could even guilt trip people into supporting. Apparently it's about some hospital in Cambodia where they provide free surgery for kids.

Oh and because I'm on this charity bandwagon thing now I thought I would do another couple of things to make the donators feel that I have truly suffered to earn their contributions. So I will be:

On Sunday 19th February I will be running the Mount Ugo Marathon in the Philippines http://kotmtrailrun.com/mount-ugo-marathon/ which looks like a bitch to run - so I'll be aiming for 7 hours.

On Sunday 26th March I will be running Singapore's OSIM Sundown Night Marathon. http://www.sundownmarathon.com/singapore
