Man Walks 645 Miles Dressed as Stormtrooper to Honor His Wife
Meet the man who walked 645 miles in a Stormtrooper costume to honor his late wife.
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.
