"Fight for Taylor" Charity Boxing Event Tonight (plus an Update from Taylor)

Fitness Advantage FA Boxing is proud to sponsor "Fight for Taylor Night" tonight, June 7, at Demetri's in Foxboro. 

Taylor Sack, a 17-year-old student from Millis, was seriously injured in February after hitting a tree while skiing at Wachusett Mountain.  The junior at Millis High School and captain of the 2014 Millis/Hopedale Mohawks (where he wore jersey #11) is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Tonight's fundraiser is to help offset some of the family's medical expenses.

The event will start at 6 p.m. and will feature a live band (Better From A Distance), a silent auction, and live amateur boxing.  

Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased at Fitness Advantage, 99 West Street, Medfield, or by email at "fightfortaylor@gmail.com" 

Update from Taylor on www.TaylorSack.org

MAY 16, 2013 ~ "So I know I haven't updated you guys in a while and I am sorry, especially for those of you who are far away. I came home from rehab Friday, April 26th and have been doing very well. The house has a beautiful new deck and ramp on it and a very nice bathroom that is almost completed. I am truly overwhelmed by the amount of support I have received and very thankful for everything that people have been doing for me. I returned to school last Monday and the transition was pretty smooth. The school and staff were very helpful and pretty good about most things. When I came home I started going to a new gym in Canton called Journey Forward...It is not a rehabilitation place but it is a gym that specializes in spinal cord type injuries. I like the gym a lot and am still very hopeful that I will get more things back with my body and eventually walk again. I have my top abdominals back and am working on strengthening them. My spirits are still high and I am very hopeful for the future.”
