Co-Founder of Wake Up World
Regular readers of Wake Up World will remember our articles from late 2014 about Jayden Wilson, the 5 year old UK boy whose family were treating his Grade-4 brain tumor with Cannabis Oil after pharmaceutical cancer protocols had failed. What you may not have heard is that, sadly, little Jayden passed away at his home with his family early on Christmas morning, and was cremated in a family service on the 8th of January 2015.
Following Jayden’s passing, his father Michael Wilson (also known as “Spider Dad“) reached out to Wake Up World again to let our readers know the sad news, and to express his gratitude for the incredible amount of support his family received from around the world (especially the UK). He and his family sincerely wish to thank everyone who showed them such kindness during this difficult time.
Michael is now firmly focussed on honoring Jayden’s legacy in the best way he knows how…
Since Jayden’s passing, ‘Spider Dad’ Michael has been doing an enormous amount of fundraising for their chosen charity, Naomi House, who supported Jayden and his family throughout the entire journey.
His family wish to leave a legacy for Jayden and other families going through similar situations, so in Jayden’s memory, Michael has created a fundraising campaign called Hope From Jayden and every day since Jayden’s passing Michael has been working to raise funds in honour of Jayden’s short but beautiful life.
As part of this effort, Michael and his brothers (Jayden’s uncles) plan to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in September to raise money and awareness for the Hope From Jayden charity. Says Michael:
This would.. mean the world to our family, allowing us to conquer something massive for our little hero… I will be taking one of Jayden’s favorite SPIDERMAN cuddly toys on the journey, resembling Jayden himself taking on the journey with us.
On the anniversary of Jayden coming home, which will be 24th December 2015, we hope to announce the final total the Hope From Jayden campaign has raised in the little warrior’s honour.
In November 2014, Michael released a hugely popular Spider Dad video on YouTube, which captured Spider Dad’s surprise home visit with young Jayden. Since Jayden’s passing, Michael has been busy filming a follow-up YouTube video called The Amazing SpiderDad, dedicated to Jayden who was a massive fan of the superhero. The fundraising concept is very simple — the more views this video receives, the more money will be donated to the charity. (Michael is working closely with YouTube to ensure that 100% of the funds raised by this video are sent directly to the Hope From Jayden charity.)
This video is dedicated by Michael and his family to their “little warrior”. Please take a moment to watch the video, as every “click” counts.
We would like to wish Michael, his family, friends and supporters the very best in all their fundraising endeavours for the Hope From Jayden charity, not least of which is their plan to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in September this year!
