The Fight for My Life: Boxing Through Chemo: Boxing Through Chemo (ePub)

This book is about developing a stronger mind, body and soul for facing your worst enemy. This book offers a belief, a hope and a plan showing that people don't always have to just adapt to a tough situation, they can make the situation adapt to them. Whether it's cancer, divorce, bankruptcy, or something else, this book is for anyone who feels desperate, lonely, or terrified by an unexpected circumstance. Instead of shrinking and surrendering to her situation, Kelly Motley put together a plan and approach based on principles she learned in the boxing ring to continue her business and maintain strong mental and physical health. Instead of catastrophic thinking, she started viewing cancer as manageable/do-able/achievable and acknowledging her body as capable and resilient. She shares an unconventional approach to healing by finding a pre-fight boxing training plan, to minimize chemo risks, with an intent to keep a healthier body and to manage the powerlessness and fear of a cancer diagnosis.Kelly Motley wanted to write the book she wished she would have had when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"'Life is a fight, it's a matter of what you are fighting for.' Kelly Motley was fighting for more than her survival, it was to continue to exist, to have her soul. Conquer or be conquered, humanity's Call to Arms since our beginning. Take a ringside seat, and see how a battle plan for life is devised and executed. You'll be waiting for each bell to ring,"

-TEDDY ATLAS, Hall of Fame commentator, boxing trainer to 18 world champion fighters, apprentice to the late Cus D'Amato and one of the most important voices in boxing.

"Kelly is not a breast cancer survivor. This girl is a breast cancer thriver."

Author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood was made into a movie starring Ashley Judd, was on The New York Times bestsellers list for more than a year, 35 of those weeks at #1 and sold more than six million copies.

"Kelly Motley's book is about spiritual hope and power and courageously getting into the ring when facing your worst enemy. In her case it is a formidable cancer opponent. This is one of the best written books I have read and there is an important lesson for everyone who reads it. She does not gloss over her raw feelings or her struggles as she has to deal with each new stage, disappointment, and complication. She faced her worst fears head on - including near death - and came out the other side stronger than ever. Whenever I have to face my worst fear or greatest enemy, I intend to read this book again to remind me how to do it."
