He’s not letting his cancer diagnosis stop him.
Local fighter, DJ and trainer Coel Peach was recently diagnosed with acute leukemia.
Peach will be travelling between Bridgewater and Halifax for treatments.
Because he is self-employed, he can’t work while in the hospital, so he set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise $10,000 to help with bills.
But it’s also for his daughter.
Peach says he wants to help give Cleo an amazing 10th birthday because he can’t attend.
He says that’s when he will be at his lowest.
“For one I don’t really want her to see me like that – I will have no immune system whatsoever,” he says.
“So everything from the outside will be life-threatening.”
Peach could be in and out of the hospital for up to two years for treatment and check-ups.
He says he increased his goal after realizing how long he may be in hospital, and says the support has been overwhelming.
