Donate and help fight for lives!

Fight fanatics, charitable champions and comical chums! Here’s your opportunity to donate to a great cause AND win a chance to give me my fight name.

My name is Matt Adam and I’m aiming to step into a boxing ring for my very first fight at IT Heavy Hitters in May. In order to help the event be successful, we need your help to fundraise for this amazing cause.

By donating, not only will you get the right to come up with Matt <insert-your-worst-or-best-fight-name-here> Adam, you’ll be supporting the Key to Life Charitable Trust - the driving force behind raising awareness, giving support and doing as much as possible to prevent another year of epidemic-level suicides in our country.

Each donation gets you an entry into the draw to follow in the footsteps of those people responsible for naming our heroes, our professional athletes, our favourite fighters like Brad ‘Quake’ Riddell, Dan “The Hangman” Hooker or Joseph Dennis Parker (actually I think the credit just goes to his parents there).

We need to do whatever we can to change the current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude towards anyone with a mental illness or who is having thoughts of suicide.

It has to stop.

So in summary:

- Each donation gets you an entry into the draw for the glory and naming rights, donate multiple times = multiple entries (note anonymous donations are fine too, but if you want to enter the draw you’ll need to send me a private message).

- Winner will be drawn at random on 15 April 2021

- All proceeds go to the Key To Life Charitable Trust

- I get beat around the gym for the next 8 weeks training my heart out

Special thanks to Lockdown Legends and all the amazing DJs that are taking part in raising awareness for this fundraiser from Thursday 19th March through til Sunday 21st March. You can find out more details on their Facebook page at the bottom.

If you want to come and support me on the night (if I get a fight), you can find ticket details at the bottom of this too. Thanks in advance and happy.. er.. name.. thinking-upping?
