Help Us Create A Place For All
At Fierce N Fit, athletes develop confidence through boxing, enjoy time with friends and take an active role in their community.
Donations, fundraising and community partnerships help sustain our volunteer-led programs and provide the individualized attention our athletes need.
Your support contributes to adaptive boxing and fitness, specialized equipment, volunteer training, social activities and community outings. It helps us work toward accessibility improvements that allow athletes with a wide range of disabilities and support needs to participate fully.

Building Confidence
I have worked in the Special Education field since 2004, at the same time as being a high-level competitive boxer for 15 years, representing Canada on the international stage and competed at the 2016 Canadian Olympic Trials. I earned my position and was scheduled to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, unfortunately the world pandemic changed the plans and I did not have an opportunity to compete. Despite this adversity I focussed and channelled my energy into creating a Special Needs Boxing program. I have been blessed to put my two specialities together to create the Fierce N Fit Special Needs Charitable Organization.
This is a safe space for individuals who have different abilities to come and learn the sport of boxing in an inclusive, welcoming environment. This program not only gives our special-needs community a place to feel included but we offer volunteer opportunities to those looking to gain experience working with people, improve self-confidence, leadership skills and become part of a team.
