On June 1st, 2021, Kai Matthews died during an unfair battle with meningitis B.

Kai was a 19-year-old Kinesiology student who had just finished his first year at Acadia University. He saw and experienced the natural joys of life during his 19 years. He found true love, travelled the world, showcased his natural athletic abilities for all sports, and pursued an education focused on his passions. His calm and gentle demeanour, as well as his charisma and charm, drew everyone towards him. Kai left an ever-lasting mark on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Kai's battle with meningitis B was approximately 30 hours long from his first symptom until he lost his fight.

On October 9th, 2021 Alex Ryan will be running 30 kilometres on a treadmill in the gym 02 Wellness located in the Sunnyside Mall, to honour Kai's 30 hour battle.

If it only takes one person to make a difference, let Kai’s death be the reason for change.

*All profits raised during this fundraiser will be donated to the BForKai Foundation. BForKai exists to help educate people about meningitis B and increase vaccination rates.
