Story

I am running the London Marathon for Wishes 4 Kids in memory of my son Kaylen. Kaylen loved London and the marathon course passes some of his favourite places to visit, including Tower Bridge, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace (which he called "the Queen's house").

Kaylen passed away from cancer in May 2024 aged just 10 years old. During his illness, Wishes 4 Kids were incredibly kind to Kaylen, granting him two wishes - 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.

I thank you in advance for your support as I run in Kaylen's memory to raise money for this wonderful charity.
