Donations for Fallen Fighter
Although few additional facts have come to light about the precise cause of death of Michael Kirkham, articles have shed some light on the financial burdens his family will face after his passing. As reported by MMAJunkie.com, Kirkham had five children and did not carry any life insurance.
The trainer of Kirkham's opponent in the tragic June 26 bout is helping promote a memorial fund to cover funeral expenses and put some money in trust for Kirkham's children. The website where you can donate directly is http://michaelkirkhammemorialfund.viviti.com.
Additionally, for every new, verified email subscriber in the month of July, MixedMartialArtsLawBlog.com will donate $5 to the fund (up to $500 total). Just add your email address using the field in the leftside title bar of the website and then respond to the verification email. The whole process takes less than two minutes. (MMALB is available to RSS Feed subscribers too, but I can't track those, so this fundraising effort has to be email based only.)
