A crazy physical challenge turned into a huge win for charity thanks to Kyle from the Nelk Boys.
YouTuber Kyle Forgeard, one of the Nelk Boys, pulled off an impressive physical feat that also turned into a major charity fundraiser. He ran 100 miles straight and ended up raising more than 330,000 dollars for cancer research, with help from a huge donation along the way.
Ambitious Run For A Great Cause
Kyle’s fundraiser began on January 21, 2026 when he set out to run 100 miles. He took on the challenge along a route that started near Area 51 and finished in the Las Vegas Strip. The goal was to raise money for the HunterSeven Foundation, a nonprofit focused on cancer prevention and detection for military veterans.
Throughout the run, Kyle was joined by his friends and a medical van that followed him for safety. The event was livestreamed on Kick.
Massive Celebrity Donation Boosts The Campaign
Part of what made the fundraiser so successful was a large boost from rapper Drake, who donated 150,000 dollars to the campaign while Kyle was still on the road. That contribution alone drew big reactions from everyone around him, and Kyle openly thanked him during the run.

Even as fatigue set in, Kyle pushed forward, stopping briefly for medical checks around the halfway point and again later in the run when his legs began to hurt. Despite the physical toll, he refused to quit and completed the entire 100 miles by January 22.
Surpassing The Fundraising Goal
Kyle’s original target for the fundraiser was 250,000 dollars, but thanks to the livestream and community support, the final total climbed well past that number. At the time of reporting, the campaign had raised over 330,000 dollars for the HunterSeven Foundation, far exceeding the initial goal.
