Last year, the story of Jayden, a 5-year-old kid suffering of a brain tumor cancer broke the Internet after his dad decided to give him a very unique and special gift: He became 'Spider-Dad' and surprised Jayden breaking into his 5th birthday party dressed up as Spidey:
The story melted Internet users' heart and the video of the amazing moment have reached more than 10 million views on YouTube so far.
Sadly, last December Jayden lost the battle against cancer before his father finished a new project he was working on. But he really didn't want to give up.
In lovely memory of Jayden, his father Mike Wilson decided to transform his personal project to a fundraising video of Spider-Dad for the charity.
Support Naomi House watching the video and enjoy it:
Video Description:
The SpiderDad Film was inspired by my son Jayden who sadly lost his 18 month battle at Christmas to a Grade 4 Brain Stem Tumor called, Glyoblastoma Multi-Forme. Before he died, we began filming with the full intention of giving Jayden his very own Premiere at home, with drinks and popcorn. Just like at the cinema. I was very passionate about making this look and feel as real as possible for our little super hero. Even to the finest details of webbing effects, stunts, the Spiderman suit and generally providing a feel good energy about the film.
Sadly, the little fighter became very ill, and his very own Premiere wasn't able to happen. It became a dedication project to the bravest, and most courageous little boy we know, always willing to give a smile and thumbs up at even the most difficult of times. In addition, we wanted this to also raise awareness and money for the charity who gave our family so much support whilst caring for Jayden, as well as the continued after care for our entire family and his big sister Ella.
We've been working closely with my YouTube partner, Rightster / Flow to help with the promotion and monetization of the video. 100% the money raised through Views and Ads will go direct to Naomi House. The concept of this fund raising Spiderman video is simple. Watch and Share to as many people as you can. The best part is, you don't need to part with any money to donate. YouTube does the rest.
I have so many people to thank, who helped make this possible, so I've tried list them all below.
Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to share.
Thank you for all your support.
Love from Jayden's Family
