Kennedy & Steve "USS" Cunningham Below Video - The Whole Cunningham family (a super cute bunch!) have a special thank you message.
Philadelphia (October 6, 2014) -Two-time Cruiserweight world champion & Current top-10 Heavyweight contender Steve "USS" Cunningham and his family would like to thank the boxing community for the contributions to the Kennedy Cunningham Fundraiser on www.heartbyfaith.com.
Kennedy Cunningham is the 9 year-old daughter of Steve and Livvy Cunningham and is awaiting a life-saving heart transplant surgery.
The fundraiser was set up this summer with the proceeds going to out of pocket expenses for the Cunningham's which included finding a new home close to the hospital for the potential surgery in Pittsburgh.
Within the two months, the goal of $25,000 was reached with most of the donations coming from members of the boxing industry.
"We are humbled and grateful for what everyone has done to pitch in," said Steve Cunningham. "These donations came from all over the world from promoters, managers, television people, fighters and everyone else."
Said Livvy Cunningham, "We are truly touched by the outpouring of help from everybody. Because of the contributions from everybody, We are as comfortable as we can be in this situation and we found a place minutes away from the hospital. It truly shows that when people get together, they can make a huge difference in people's lives."
The Cunninghams Thank You.
