James "Jimmy" Henderson was among the seven World Central Kitchen (WCK)
workers who died when their convoy was hit in Gaza - one year ago today.
“As a fitting tribute to his love of boxing and rugby, and his life-long commitment to helping others, Falmouth and Penryn Boxing Club has been renamed the Henderson Boxing Academy.”
“He represented the Marines as a heavy weight in the boxing ring, reaching several final bouts. “
“Jim left school set on a military career. He served as a Marine from 2010 to 2016 and was deployed to some of the world's most troubled spots, including Afghanistan. He was highly-disciplined, known for calmness under pressure and the ability to lead and solve problems in challenging situations. “
“In his post-military career he pursued his interest in marine security, travelling the world as a professional security adviser and operative.”
