Help Alana McLaughlin Get Battle-Ready

Hi folks! I'm trying to get some funds together for a fight pre-camp so I can be ready if we get another fight offer. As you may well imagine, finding a friendly and welcoming place to train as the second openly trans pro MMA fighter ever can be difficult. I have a great team in Chicago, but I don't live in Chicago! I know there are a million other people worse off than me, but if you have some disposable income and you want to directly support trans women in sports, my team and I would appreciate your patronage. Donations will be applied to the costs of travel, coaching, living expenses, and the care of my horrible fur gremlin Loofah when I'm out of town. If we have any excess funds they'll be applied to youth scholarships for martial arts training at my team's gym, Foundation Chicago. I'll be providing you updates with blogs, photos, and videos during training to bring you all into the process and onto the team. Thank you!
