Background:
Tim Hill was an aspiring boxer whose boxing dreams were shattered when he broke his back while working on a construction site. Unable to box anymore, Tim went back to college for a degree in social work and afterwards worked as a counselor for high school kids.
It was during this time that he was inspired to start the Geneva Boxing Team. For more than 10 years, Tim has been training kids from the ages of 8 to 21 to box for free, and pays all expenses out of his pocket. Many of the kids are from broken and impoverished homes and Tim gives them a sense of pride and expert training that has made three Olympic hopefuls.
Tim was awarded custody of one of these hopefuls, Aleem Whitfield, who came from a family with 23 children. In addition to Aleem, Tim and Michelle have three children of their own that they are raising in a 150-year-old house showing its age. It is now up to Ty and his designers to grant the Hills' dream of tearing down their old home and building a small boxing gym to help more kids in need.
