Former Boxing Champ Steve Cunningham Running For Stanley’s Dream

This New Years Day instead of taking a well deserved break from training, former IBF Cruiserweight Champion of the World, Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham will instead be lacing up his running shoes to take part in the AngerWear sponsored Stanley’s Dream 5K run in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Steve, who is passionate in his belief of helping others less fortunate than himself, jumped at the opportunity to help raise funds for Stanley’s Dream, a fund for the Chester County Foundation, which provides college scholarships to graduating seniors and supports childhood brain cancer research grants to hospitals.

Speaking at his home just after Christmas Steve said. “Man, what can I say, Stanley (Edwards) battled to keep his dream alive in heroic fashion. Now his parents, Stanley Snr. and Donna, dedicate themselves to helping others achieve their dreams in the name of Stanley. These people are heroes and I am proud to support them and take part in the Stanley’s Dream 5K run.

I know first hand what it’s like to have a child fighting a medical battle, my daughter Kennedy has a serious heart condition and has had her share of battles in her life, I have so much respect for the Edwards as they fight to keep Stanley’s dream alive.

I’m hoping that a lot of people will get to West Chester on Friday to cheer us all on and help us to raise a significant amount of money for the Stanley’s Dream fund.

The race starts at noon at the corner of Church and Market in West Chester, please come along and support the runners.”

Steve will not be the only world class boxer at the Stanley’s Dream run as fellow James Shuler Memorial Gym mate Heavyweight contender ‘Fast’ Eddie Chambers will also be on hand to sign autographs.
