Follow on Google News | Fighter To Writer, ex heavyweight Boxing Champ Defeats Illiteracy Banging Out A Kids BookCanadian ex-heavyweight champion "comes out" on illiteracy challenge and reveals how he won the bout and went on to become a kids book writer by releasing his first book entitled the "Little Red Circle".
By: KMcKenna Ben knows how to overcome limitations- Perlini decided in early March to “come out” on his illiteracy. “It always ate at me to feel less than capable so I turned to boxing to get back my self-worth”. Ultimately illiteracy came back to haunt him. He couldn’t hang on to the success that he earned in the ring due to an embarrassing secret. The frustration eventually led to dead end streets in some dark corners of Vancouver. Perlini has put it all behind him and has vowed to trade a dream for a new one. Ben is selling his coveted championship belt and other boxing memorabilia to raise cash for an ongoing motivational speaking tour across Canada. His plan is to promote his 3 steps of success: 1) Stay in school 2) say no to drugs 3) follow your dreams. He says he will back up his new title as writer and motivational speaker with facts. He was able to rise to the top spot of boxing in Canada and has now parlayed that same sheer determination knocking out illiteracy from his life. “I’ve put the final touches on my first kid’s book and have many other books in the wings”. On the CityTV’s March 01, 2007 Breakfast edition with Simi Sara he claimed to have 70 books in various levels of preparedness. Once he raises enough money with the sale of his title belt through the Web site FighterToWriter.com, he’ll hit the road with a message that hits home. Website: fightertowriter.com End
