Story

On 21st March 2016, my boyfriend Kyle, sadly passed away after a 7 month battle with leukaemia at the age of 19. Although Kyles illness wasn't terminal, he unexpectedly passed away of organ failure due to a combination of the cancerous cells and his treatment taking its toll on his body. Kyle was extremely positive, and always spoke of all the money he would raise to help others once he was better.

The Teenage Cancer Trust provided Kyle with emotional and physical support, and also helped to fund the purchase of new technology in the hope of finding a cure for Cancer. They also always made me and kyles family feel more than comfortable whilst there. They had a day room with a tv, play stations, Xbox, a pool table, juke box, food and drink and it was such a lovely place be considering the circumstances.

In honour of Kyle, Myself, Kyles Sister and a number of his close friends want to raise as much money as possible to ensure that other teenagers lives don't end as tragically as Kyle did, and also to ensure that others get the same emotional and physical support.

7 of us will be taking part in the half Tough Mudder Challenge on 7th August to raise money to ensure that the Teenage Cancer Trust have enough money to keep providing the same level of support they gave Kyle, and also to continue to be able to carry out research to find a cure.

All the money donated will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust on Ward J94 in Leeds, which is the specific unit that looked after Kyle.
