Lovely to sit with Ceri Hemus today and start to collaborate with her in advance of her incredible fundraiser for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Already approaching £400 and just starting.
Please read Ceri’s story / motivation for this challenge. It is both moving and inspiring:
Hello, I'm Ceri "Dodge's Princess". As you may know, I lost Dave a.k.a Dodge earlier this year after short but agonising battle with cancer.
The pain of losing my soul mate is unbearable, but instead of rotting away, I choose to fight. LITERALLY!
MMA has given me a focus and a purpose. A way to take my pain and turn it into a way to help others.
I will be fighting to raise money for MSF Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Against Borders. MSF is an independent organisation who help people all over the world who are suffering through no fault of their own as a result of conflict, epidemics and disasters. MSF rely solely on the generosity of donations and received no government funding, this allows them to act fast in an emergency resulting in hundreds of innocent lives saved.
My fight will be on Friday 14th November in Leeds.
Your support would mean the world to me. Tickets for the event go on sale 19/09/25.

My PS : Ceri is a nurse at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust hopefully they will help push this cause.
