Brycen Hillier Memorial Fund

To all the students, friends, and families of Championship MMA... please join me in helping raise funds for the medical and funeral expenses of Brycen Hillier.  This amazing young man, only 15 years of age, passed away on Saturday, August 8th.  He'd just begun his warm-up laps at the Dojo when he suffered some sort of catastrophic medical incident.  The parents, Tim and Nichole, and his younger brother Racen, are devastated, as are we all.  They loved this young man so much.  No words can express how heartbroken we are for their loss.  Having lost two loved ones in recent years, I'm acutely aware of how heavy the financial burden can be when dealing with both the medical expenses and funeral expenses during already difficult times.  I know many of you are experiencing tough times financially due to Covid-19.  Some of you may be doing well.  Whatever your circumstances, from $5 to however much you can afford... any and all donations are greatly appreciated.  Please share this Go-Fund-Me campaign with all your friends and family, and let's push real hard to try and raise this $10k for the family.  After 35 years of training and teaching martial-arts... this is the most hurtful thing we've ever experienced.  I've been absolutely blessed with so many awesome people in my life for many years...   I'd ask all of you to please help me help the Hillier family during this time of such sorrow and loss.  

I’d like to note that this picture was used with the permission of both his family, and of the family of his battle buddy, Jasper.  His friend said it showed, “how much fun they had together”, and his father and mother said, “he passed doing what he loved, MMA”.  Please remember these good people in your thoughts and prayers.
