Jodi is one of our original members at TITLE Boxing Club Littleton. Her story is a true inspiration for everyone!
“TITLE has helped me overcome my personal deficits. Living with cancer for over eight years, I’ve always been mentally strong. Physically however, that was a different story. Three brain surgeries, seven weeks of radiation and 14 months of chemo took its toll on me. My left side was negatively impacted during my last surgery. I could barely write my name, never mind do a push-up!
In December, while visiting with a new doctor at Dana Farber, I couldn’t pass his simple neuro exam, involving simple balance. I was completely unstable. That’s when I decided that at 34 years old this wasn’t how I was going to live my life and it was time to do something about it.
As luck would have it, TITLE Boxing Club Littleton opened just weeks later!
Since joining, I am stronger than ever, feel better than ever and my doctor is super impressed with how I’ve trained my brain to rewire itself, so that I can take on and overcome what I previously couldn’t.
I have my TITLE family to thank for pushing me through and to help me overcome these deficits. Oh, and to top it off, as of today I am cancer free!”
