Fight Back IYC

06/04/2026

There are no tougher fighters than Parkinson's fighters. 🔥

Maddy hurt her thumb and could have taken the day off—but that's not how she rolls.

Push-ups with a bum thumb? No problem.
She's still got one good arm... and it's strong enough for the job! 💪🏽

Nothing slows this fighter down. Maddy has fought back with everything she's got 💯 every day 👊🏽

With a heavy heart, I share the news of the loss of one of our Fighters: John B 🩵
John committed himself to the Fight Back IYC, making the commute from Oxford to Wolcott twice a week to spend time training alongside his fellow boxers who were also fighting back against Parkinson's disease. What began as uncertainty grew into confidence, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. He found not only the physical benefits of boxing, but also the encouragement and support of a community that quickly became part of his life. His presence, determination, and spirit left a lasting impact on our Fight Back IYC family, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of training alongside him.


Rest in ✌🏽 John B 🩵 🥊 Mary Broas
