My name is Ayden McAnally, and I’ve always believed that strength is found in overcoming life’s toughest battles. On the outside, stepping into the MMA ring is about grit, determination, and power. But for me, this fight is about something much deeper.

As a child, I faced the painful reality of both mental and physical abuse. The scars from those days don’t fade easily, but they have fueled my journey. It’s a path that many children walk in silence, and too many never find a way out. This fight is for them.

I’m stepping into the cage to raise awareness and funds for the Randall Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Child Abuse Prevention Campaign. Their mission is one that speaks to me on a personal level: providing safety, care, and hope to children who are facing the same struggles I once did. With your support, we can help break the cycle of abuse and give these kids a chance at a brighter future.

Every moment I spend preparing, every ounce of effort I put into this fight, is for the kids who feel powerless. Each round represents standing up against the violence that robs children of their innocence. But I can’t do this alone.

By donating to this campaign, you are not just supporting my fight—you are standing with me and, more importantly, with every child who deserves a safe and loving home. Your contribution will go directly to funding prevention programs, mental health services, and the vital care that these children need to heal and rebuild their lives.

Join me in this fight for change. Together, we can protect the most vulnerable among us and ensure that no child has to endure what I did. Let’s give them the strength to keep fighting and the hope for a better tomorrow.

Thank you for your support.
