Fundraising for Wishes 4 Kids in Memory of Kaylen
Raising money for Wishes 4 Kids
In memory of Kaylen
Story
Kaylen passed away from cancer in May 2024 aged just 10 years old.
During his illness, Wishes 4 Kids were incredibly kind to Kaylen - they gifted him a wonderful gaming laptop to enable him to play his favourite driving game during all of his time off school because of his treatment; and it is also thanks to this wonderful charity that Kaylen was able to drive a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a McLaren around a track at speeds up to 102mph!
As a family we would dearly love to raise a significant sum of money for Wishes 4 Kids, to thank them for everything they did for Kaylen at a very difficult time for him and to help them provide more wishes for other sick children, which we know will help to brighten up their challenging lives.
To raise money, we are taking on the following challenges:
May 2025
Kaylen’s Dad Stuart, Uncle Darren and friends Gav and Will are attempting to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on 4th May 2025 - walking approx 24.5 miles (39.5kms) in 12 hours over three of the highest peaks in Yorkshire, a total ascent of 1,585 meters (5,200 ft). Kaylen loved Yorkshire and always asked if he could go back there again. It feels very fitting to walk the same paths on this challenge that Kaylen walked.
April 2026
Stuart & Darren will both run the London Marathon in April 2026 - this will be Darren’s first (and last?) marathon and it will be Stuart’s first marathon for 10 years (with the added age and weight to show for it!). Kaylen loved going to London and the marathon course passes some of his favourite places, including Tower Bridge, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace (which he called the Queen's house).
Thank you for your support.
