She's A Knockout MKR Heather's Fighting Back

Her boxing therapy’s a hit

- Ellen Mackenzie

When Heather and Aaron Freeman were runners-up in the 2014 finale of My Kitchen Rules New Zealand, they were absolutely shattered.

The Palmerston North couple have since been hard at work with a new catering company, but for Heather, the loss still weighed heavily and she felt there was something missing in her life.

After years of neglecting her health and never taking time for herself, this year, the mother-of-two, 34, decided to follow her teenage dream of entering a boxing tournament.

“It took me a week to have the courage to tell my husband, but he was so supportive,” explains Heather. “So I registered for Fight to Make a Difference and that was the first step.”
