Kevin Doyle's wife, Eileen passed away in 2012 of pancreatic cancer.

Since his wife's death, Kevin has done whatever he can think of to continue her legacy. He even started a nonprofit organization called Eileen’s Little Angels Foundation which is dedicated to helping kids with cancer. Kevin’s 645-mile walk from San Francisco to San Diego was, in part, to fund that charity.

Kevin explained that the couple shared a passion for 'Star Wars' and with the money he raised, he will be providing coloring books, bandanas, blankets, and plush toys – all featuring Eileen’s artwork – to put a little sunshine in the lives of kids.

Kevin set off on June 6th from Petaluma, California, and braved heat waves, rain and even had to shimmy along a cliff before arriving at the event for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel.
