What's Happening?
Award-winning boxer Bobby Brannen is expanding his boxing classes to reach more children with special needs and disabilities. Inspired by his brother, Brannen launched 'Fitness By Bobby' after a viral video showed him training his brother, who has disabilities. The classes, which include sessions for home-schooled children and women-only groups, aim to provide fitness opportunities for those with special needs. Brannen's initiative has trained over 100 individuals and plans to offer classes at Brownsover Community Hall starting October 7.
