SALEM, Massa. (Elokuu 16, 2018) – Palkittu nyrkkeilykuvaaja Emily Harney vaihtaa Nikon -kameransa yhteiskunnan yhdeksän nyrkkeilyhanskaan yhdeksi yöksi –Keskiviikko, Lokakuu 10 — kun hän taistelee hyväntekeväisyystapahtumassa KO -syöpää vastaan, kuudes vuosittainen Heinäntekijät Toivolle: Belle of the Ball, House of Blues Bostonissa.
Taistelu Salemista, MA, Harney aloittaa neljännen vuoden kuvataiteen opettajana Gloucester High Schoolissa, jossa hänen oppilaansa oppivat valokuvaamaan, graafinen suunnittelu ja integroitu media.
Haymakers for Hope on a 501 (c) (3) hyväntekeväisyysjärjestö, joka järjestää hyväntekeväisyys nyrkkeilytapahtumia kerätäkseen rahaa syöpätutkimukseen, hoito, tietoisuutta ja selviytymistä. Emily, jonka tavoitteena on nostaa vähintään $5,000 syöpään, on yksi 32 naiset valmistautuvat astumaan kehään loka. 10.
“Olen työskennellyt nyrkkeilyssä ja sen ympäristössä 18 vuotta valokuvaajana ja neuvonantajana promoottoreille,” Harney said, “but I have never stepped into the ring to fight. When the time was right, and for the right reasons, I’ve always said I’d get in the ring. This is also the one part of the business of boxing that I am not familiar with: to train, taistelu, hit and be hit. I’ve covered some of the greatest fighters to ever step in the ring from all aspects of their lives, respecting their dedication, work ethic and privacy. Just in a few short weeks of training, my respect for their knowledge, dedication and lifestyle choices has elevated.
“Sisään 2016, I attended my first Haymakers for Hope event and I was blown away by the energy and support for a cause that means so much to so many of us. I knew if given the opportunity to fight it would be a great honor and it truly is.”
Emily trains at Tomasello’s Boxing Gym in Saugus, MA, where she is trained by Joe Ricarrdi.
Harney is fighting in honor of her late grandmother, Susan Harney; friend and mentor Samuel E. Zoll, Chief Justice of the Massachusetts District Court; and Mason Silva, the son of Emily’s childhood friend, Alissa Collins-Silva, ja hänen miehensä, Kevin Silva. Mason was diagnosed at six months old with myelodysplastic syndrome and AML leukemia. After months of treatment, Mason sadly passed away only 23 days after his first birthday.
“This past December,” Harney added, “I was asked by another childhood friend to come and photograph his children for their Christmas card. His daughter Dior (7) was in Boston Children’s battling leukemia. Getting the kids into a photo studio was not an option; and realizing we were confined to her hospital room, we transformed her room into a studio and made some spectacular photographs. Dior was resilient and positive during the time we shared that day. Dior is continuing to fight each and every day with resilience and grace.”
