Storm-Troopers March on the Golden Gate Bridge
NBC Bay Area ^ | Aug 15, 2015

Posted on 08/15/2015 9:18:35 PM PDT by nickcarraway

More than 60 storm-troopers crossed the Golden Gate Bridge Saturday to raise funds for a nonprofit for children with cancer.

At 7 a.m., a large group clad in storm-trooper uniforms gathered near Golden Gate Bridge to support Kevin Doyle. Doyle's mission is to raise awareness and also funds to start a nonprofit for kids with cancer.

"It's breathtaking," Doyle said. "I can't put into words right now the support. The sincere gratitude that people have been showing for what I've been doing is great."

He's doing this to honor his late wife who passed away from cancer. The couple were huge Star Wars fans, so much so that R2D2 was the ring-bearer at their wedding.

"I know she'd be proud of me for making this journey and completing my passions from grief to celebration," Doyle said.

Earlier this year, Doyle walked 645 miles from the Bay Area to San Diego International Comic-Con in Southern California in full storm-trooper attire.

He has now made his way back to the Bay Area, but he said it was his first time walking the Golden Gate Bridge.

Doyle is originally from Minnesota but he said he came to California to do the walk. Raji Ramanathan contributed to this story.

They can't be Hillary's troops. The babies got out alive.

The headline threw me for a second.

Someone needs to do a “Hitler finds out that the Storm-troopers were from Star Wars” video! LOL!

To be feared more than the guys in white armor.

The stupid is strong in this one.

I saw a couple like that at the Boston airport yesterday. Not a pleasant sight.

The females actually vote. The guys in white armour don't.

Your lack of faith disturbs me.

Sorry unclear post. I was referring to baby buggie mom's to be feared more that storm troopers. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet!

Apology accepted, Captain Nee dock.
