Run for Caiden! 5 Miles Every 4 Hours for 48hrs

‍ Run For Caiden - 40th Birthday Fundraiser: 5 Miles Every 4 Hours for 48 Hours! ‍

Hey everyone Darren here! For my 40th birthday, I’m taking on the ultimate endurance challenge: running 5 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours straight, kicking off at 4 PM BST on Friday, June 13, 2025, and finishing at 4 PM on Sunday, June 15!

Why I’m Doing This

My son, Caiden, our hero. He’s living with a rare, life-limiting genetic condition called MecP2 Duplication Syndrome. Despite countless hospital visits, complications, and setbacks, Caiden never gives up or gives out, his courage inspires me every single day. Melanie (Caidens Mum) and I absolutely adore every part of our warrior son and would go to the ends of the earth and back to make his life better and more comfortable for him!

To mark this milestone birthday, I want to push my limits and raise critical funds for:

• Specialist treatments and therapies that ease Caiden’s day-to-day struggles

• Research into a cure to halt—or even reverse—the regression of his condition

• Ongoing medical investigations that keep him safe and comfortable

• Buy a running buggy so that Caiden can be included and involved in runs with us going forward so he can be out and about more!
