Preston’s younger sister lives with congenital hypothyroidism. He entered the boxing ring to raise awareness. He explained: It’s something that has been part of our family’s life since she was
born, and it’s made me very aware of how important the right support, information and research are for
people living with thyroid conditions.

Preston raised £260 for the BTF.

Preston said: The event itself pushed me well outside my comfort zone, but knowing I was doing it for a cause that means so much to my family kept me motivated throughout. 

I wanted not only to raise funds, but also to help raise awareness of thyroid conditions and the impact they can have on families. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me, donated, and encouraged me along the way to raise funds, and to the British Thyroid Foundation for the vital work you do.
