Tanner Martin, a content creator, tragically passed away at the age of 30, leaving behind his wife Shay and their newborn daughter, AmyLou. Wright shared the devastating news of Martin’s death on June 25, along with a pre-recorded video of him where he expressed his last wishes.

Moved by the tremendous support, Wright decided to raise the fundraising target to £750,000 to honour Tanner’s memory in two significant ways. A portion of the donations exceeding £500,000 will be allocated to support the non-profit organisation Rebels Against Cancer, while another portion will go towards establishing the Tanner Martin Memorial Scholarship at his alma mater, Utah Valley University. This scholarship aims to help future students pursue their dreams, reflecting Tanner’s bold and compassionate spirit.
