A carpenter who took part in a charity fight in Watford has been honoured with a prize after raising more than £20,000 in memory of his much-loved grandad.
John Horohoe, 19, was determined to do something positive to honour his grandfather, who passed away following a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
The teen decided to compete in a Watford charity boxing event on Saturday, December 7. After eight weeks of free training with Ultra White Collar Boxing (UWCB), he stepped into the ring at Watford Leisure Centre Woodside in front of hundreds of spectators.
Last month, John was crowned UWCB Top Fundraiser of the Year after raising an incredible £20,561 for Cure Parkinson’s.
John said: “It was an incredible night and such an amazing experience going into the ring. I won my fight – it couldn’t have gone any better! To then be told that I had won the Top Fundraiser of the Year award for the whole of UWCB was brilliant.
“Raising money to help find a cure for Parkinson’s was really important to me and my family. They are really proud of me for what I have achieved.”

My wife has Parkinson’s disease, adding PD-5 to her nighttime Parkinson’s meds has completely changed her sleep issues. she slept all day and up all night, we had to hire care nurses. Now using this PD-5 medicine for the last six months and a normal routine she sleeps almost completely through the night and may get up once to use the restroom. It’s improved so much we were able to let go of the night nurses. This medicine also helps a ton with memory. we got the treatment from uinehealth centre . com I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution. I hope you find it helpful, and I wish you a full recovery!
