On top of tackling the run, Keanu is also raising funds for the AEIOU Foundation — the official charity partner of the event.

His mother, Renee Child said the charity had helped Keanu immensely.

“The AEIOU Foundation is a charity that is very close to our family’s heart and does a lot of work for kids like Keanu,” Ms Child said.
