Knife Crime & Gun Crime.
I understand children in London feel the need to feel protected but I will never understand the need to kill another human being for the sake of power. I'm sure none of you will forget the particularly shocking incident in which a boy was chased through Victoria station and murdered in front of hundreds of commuters in broad daylight.
If you, like me want to make a stand against Knife and Gun crime, Please Sponsor me at the Safari kick-a-thon.
My Mixed Martial Arts school is holding a kick-a-thon to see how many high-kicks students can complete in 30 minutes (not an easy task, if you are aware of how hard just a few continuous high kicks are).
All profits will go to prevent Gun and Knife crime in London.
If you are a fighter but not a member of Safari and would like to take part in this brilliant cause, please email; safarikickboxing@gmail.com
