After Kevin Doyle’s wife died of cancer he decided to honour her in the only way he knew how – by walking 645 miles to San Diego’s Comic-Con dressed up as a Stormtrooper.
Doyle and his late wife Eileen were both member of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars costuming organisation, and would attend conventions together.
After Eileen died of pancreatic cancer aged 45 in November 2012, Kevin decided to pay tribute to his wife and raise money for the children’s cancer foundation he set up in her name by walking across California this year to Comic-Con.
