We are working with a local martial arts academy, where Bobby was an active member, to roll out a program, where the charity will sponsor and fund under privileged young persons, to be able to partake in the course, so we can physically see the change we are making in peoples lives. We will be working closely with a select few local charities to identify these persons.
