Geneva13, Boxers, and Extreme Make-over

by KPunk | 08/18/2008 | in boxing | mainstream media | zine

So, a few of you know that issue #3 of Geneva13 featured a cover story of the Geneva Boxing Club, the owners/coaches, and a few of their star boxers. Basically, Tim Hill and his wife Michelle, started a boxing club to help troubled kids in the area. They practice in this amazing pit of a building. They have even adopted one of the boxers to help get him out of a bad home environment (his brother just got sentenced for murder). Anyway, the zine ran a cover story with interviews about the Hills and the boxers. Surprisingly, the club is not that well-known by most people in town.

One of the readers was moved to tears when she read the story and decided she wanted to do something for the Hills. So what does she do? She nominates them for the tv show Extreme Home Makeover. We get contacted by the show's producers who want to see the zine. The Hills make the short-list.
