I took this photo the middle of November 2012. I got the black eye after falling when I finished boxing training. In 2005 I had brain surgery. I used to fall all the time. Boxing gave me strength, confidence and showed me how to stand strong. I box because it is the only sport where I can really let loose and forget that I'm disabled. I fell because I forgot to get my bearings after I finished. After I took up boxing I fall maybe twice a year rather than every month. I box at least 5 times a week!
