A chat about big fists between two Napier businessmen recently has led to a unique fundraising venture to support a cause both are keen to do their bit for - the Breast Cancer Cure Research Trust.
Their determination to put their fists on the line has also been taken up by the HBS Bank Hawks.
Richard Stevenson, owner of Hell Pizza in Napier, had a more than fist-sized dilemma on his hands in the wake of a promotion involving over-sized padded fist gloves.
He had about 500 pairs still stored away and has been wondering what to do with them for some time.
A keen sponsor and supporter of the Hawks, he started chatting to another sponsor, David Aflello from Kennedy Park Top 10 Resort, and he mentioned the gloves.
