JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:
(01:27) - Round 1: How Nicolette started in the Haymakers family - “One of my friends, um, had fought in one of the very first Haymakers events that was at the castle when my son was sick. She had reached out to me asking if she could honor him, um, in her fight .”
(02:47) - Nicolette’s training experience - “My favorite part of training is weird, as it sounds, is like just being in the ring and getting punched. Like, once you get hit that first time, it makes you realize that you're not afraid to get hit. ”
(6:45) - Becoming a fighter - “Um, well, haymakers definitely gave me, that edge to go forward. Um, I enjoyed boxing a lot. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Um, so that January I did the golden gloves.”
(11:44) - Round 2: Nicolette’s connection to the cause - “His battle was incredible. He taught me so many things about life in general that, um, I don't think I could ever learn in another lifetime.”
(16:10) - An advocate for pediatric cancer - “Pediatric cancer is one of the least funded, cancer researchers out there. We get about one person. We might now be up to like five or 6% of all monies raised, um, towards cancer research, which is terrible.”
(27:14) - Round three: How Haymakers has changed Nicolette’s life and how you can get involved in the fight against pediatric cancer - “Honestly, like Haymakers changed my life. I mean, going through everything I went through with my son definitely changed my life, but Haymakers made me not break”
