A Whanganui woman is a keen to share a sporting experience that changed her life dramatically three years ago.
Emily Kara is promoting a corporate fight night at Franks Bar and Eatery on May 12 and is confident participants will enjoy the same life-changing experiences.
"I'm keen to payback after embracing an experience that changed my life three years ago," Kara said.
"In 2015, I was a mother of two young children — and I still am — who part-owned a bar. My focus was on live music and selling alcohol, which led to drinking and late night socialising every weekend while my kids spent time with their dad. I was also a heavy smoker.
"When the offer of entering a corporate fight night against a bartender from a rival pub came, I grabbed it with both hands and my mandatory eight-week training programme began. During that time I gave up smoking and alcohol," Kara said.
