MUAY THAI SPAR-A-THON
150 Aussies go missing everyday.
After the enormous success of last year’s event, we’re inviting Melbourne’s Muay Thai community to come together again to help us smash out 150 sparring rounds to support families of missing loved ones.
All gyms, all levels — everyone’s welcome.
This event is a fundraiser for The Missed Foundation. This is a cause close to Foundation Thai Boxing coach MK’s heart, as the charity is the legacy of her brother-in-law (a beloved martial artist himself).
Where
Foundation Thai Boxing
When
Saturday 22 August 2026, 10am-3pm
There will only be a few rounds on the go, so we’ll need more than 4 hours to get to reach our target of 150.
Cost
DONATION
We invite everyone to donate as you’re able to – it all adds up. We suggest a $20 donation, but whether it’s $5 or $50, you’re making a difference.

What to expect on the day
Super straightforward – just rock up, we’ll get you to sign a waiver, we’ll collect your donation (if you haven’t already secured your spot) then off to the rounds!
Do i need to do all 150 rounds?
No, it’s a collective effort.
Do i need to stay for the whole time?
No, it’s super flex! Come at whatever time suits and do however many rounds you want (and rest as you need).
Is my gym invited?
Yes, everyone is welcome! Just ensure you have a friendly attitude and a technical sparring-level of Muay Thai.
See the impact
The Missed Foundation is the only charity in Australia that provides specialised support for families of long-term missing people.
These families live with a type of grief called ambiguous loss. It’s considered the most traumatic type of loss and the most unmanageable form of stress, because it’s uncertain and continuous, so there’s no way to move forward. It’s the kind of pain that sits in your chest and swirls in your head every day.
Missed stands beside these families, helping them carry that weight so they’re not fighting through it alone.
