Former Kickboxing champion, Matt Sarkies is one of the lucky ones, in late 2020 during the pandemic he received a life saving liver transplant!

It was a real honour to have him tell his story recently on Legends with Bevo and talk about the health challenges that he has faced throughout his life which ultimately meant he had to give up his kickboxing career.

We also spoke about the importance of being an organ donor and why people shouldn't be scared to become one, how he's recovering after the transplant and where to from here for Matt going forward.

If you wish to be an organ donor, visit https://www.donatelife.gov.au/ for more information.

Thanks so much to Matt for his time as well as Liz Sonntag and Claire Bonieux for arranging the chat and thanks also to Rory Noke from PodBooth for a fantastic job of filming and editing the video.
