*Although some may want to come just for the ride!
However I myself will be trying to raise money for ex‑boxers for Ringside Charitable Trust.
Ringside Charitable Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing long‑term support and a future residential care home for retired fighters who are struggling with physical injuries, mental health issues, addiction, or hardship after boxing.

Why this charity matters
Like myself, many people have had help from coaches at amateur boxing clubs and, for some, at professional clubs too. Without these coaches and volunteers who give up their free time, often for no pay, many boxers would never have made it in the sport or in life.
Boxing is often seen as a poor man’s sport and some people think of it as a thugs’ sport, but many also see it as a gentleman’s sport. People from all races and backgrounds mix together in clubs, get along, and look out for one another. The discipline, structure, and support in the gym keep a lot of people out of trouble, and that is down to the coaches and everyone involved who quietly help people, including me, over the years.
Ringside Charitable Trust aims to change how we care for our boxing family by creating a specialist care home with medical support, short‑ and long‑term care, and a safe place for ex‑boxers to live with dignity, similar to what exists in other sports but is still missing in boxing.
*What the charity does
Provides support for ex‑boxers affected by depression, alcohol or substance abuse, illness, injury, and the long‑term effects of fighting.
▪︎Plans to build a dedicated residential home of around 36 beds, with medical facilities, social spaces, and a place where former fighters can live among people who understand their journeys.

▪︎Offers a focal point for the boxing community to give something back to those who entertained crowds and gave everything in the ring but have been left with very little support in retirement.

The Wales motorbike ride
Ill be completing around 1350 miles on my motorbike over 4 days, alot harder than on 4 wheels, anyone can join me especially boxing enthusiasts or boxers/ex boxers, or just to meet somewhere on one of my rest stops if you wish, for cuppa tea and ill give you a small dose of my Autistic talking fit🤣 while soaking up the views, challenge for me also as I do suffer with learning difficulties Adhd and Dislexia aswell as Autism so paying attention is a must for not only me but for anyone else, unless im doing the ride alone ill have just everyone else to worry about on the road, aswell as all the pot holes and the 🐑, im sure the Welsh look after them🤣, being part Italian part English im glad ive got some of the Brittish banter in me, unlike some Italians hope the Welsh have some Brittish banter to lol!
To give something back to the sport and to those people who helped me, I will be riding around Wales on my motorbike to raise money for Ringside Charitable Trust. Starting at the bottom of Wales and riding all the way up to the top, I’ll be taking in the famous passes including the Hellfire Pass (Bwlch y Groes), one of the highest, steepest and most scenic roads in Wales, before riding around Snowdonia.

https://www.dangerousroads.org/europe/wales/7311-bwlch-y-groes.html
I will be setting off on Sunday 23rd August and returning on Thursday 27th August, aiming for around 300 miles on day one (the 23rd) and again on the way home on the 27th, so that days two and three are a lot easier. I will post updates, photos, and stories of the people we meet along the way.
▪︎Meeting point and ride details
Meeting point: South Mimms Services by the M25, BP garage.
▪︎Time: Meet at 07:00, leaving 0730 will be the latest then time to head towards Cardiff.
🏍Group size:To keep things safe and sensible, it is best to ride in small groups of about 4–6 riders, as larger groups can be dangerous, harder to manage,and can disrupt normal traffic.

Anyone is welcome to join the ride or to support from home, and anyone who can make a donation via the Ringside Charitable Trust website, no matter how small, will be helping ex‑boxers who desperately need and deserve that support.

Why this charity matters!🙃Like myself, many people have had help from coaches at Amateur Boxing clubs, some have gone on to become pro also.
🇬🇧If big time promoters can please donate £1 per ticket sold and small promoters just 30pence then you will be more valued as seen as looking after Boxers, in my eyes that's RESPECT if you PROMOTORS Can look after your people better incase bad times arise for some boxers as THE RINGSIDE CHARITABLE TRUST will have then enough funds to help alot more i.e Build a care home!
Now that's not a bad deal after all and will be the right THING TO DO!
