Just a little over a week ago my stepfather (Martin) lost a short battle and sadly passed away. He suffered a heart attack and later a stroke. Martin supported the Mr Matt Lee channels from the first video upload right up until his last day.

It's within my best interests to share awareness for Stroke Association UK and we want to raise some funds to donate directly to the cause.

To win this PC, please donate any amount you're comfortable with starting from £1 via my 'buy me a coffee' page. No subscription required and all of the proceeds will goto Stroke Association UK. The amount of coffee you donate will not impact your chances of winning, one coffee = £1. Your support is most important but all donations no matter how low or high are most welcomed.

If you can’t afford to leave a donation that’s fine too, simply leave a comment on the YouTube video with your best Christmas cracker joke and you will also be entered.

A winner will be picked at random on 8th January 2026 and announced here on the Mr Matt Lee YouTube channel via a community post.

🚨 If anybody contacts you directly claming to be Mr Matt Lee, this will be a scam. I wont ask for any money from you for shipping etc under any circustances. Please be vigilant! 🚨
