Triple H praises seven-year-old WWE superfan raising money for NHS with book

A young British WWE fan is showing his entrepreneurial skills by raising money for the NHS with his own homemade book.

Seven-year-old Caelan McFaulds – also known as the amazing Captain Chaos – was getting a bit bored during the coronavirus lockdown, so his parents gave him a creative challenge to keep him busy, and he’s taken the idea and ran with it.

The youngster has raised over £1,500 – three times his original target – by selling digital and signed copies of his 38-page Main Event of WrestleMania story, and it’s even caught the eye of WWE boss Triple H.

The legendary superstar shared a link to the Crowdfunding page set up by Caelan’s proud dad Steven McFaulds, and posed with his own copy of the book.

He tweeted: ‘Last week I learned about a young man who wrote a story about his dream of being in the main event of #WrestleMania and since then, Caelan has raised over £1200 for @NHSuk!

‘Amazing things can happen when you dream big. Thanks for dreaming of others!’

WWE Champion Drew McIntyre – who faces Captain Chaos in the story – also got involved, sharing more heartwarming snaps and an inspirational message.

He wrote: ‘What an incredible story & gesture. 7 year old Caelan has raised over £1500 for @NHSUk with his tale of main eventing WrestleMania against myself.

‘As I told you, stick in school, work hard & one day you’ll turn fiction into non-fiction pal.’

Steven shared his son’s story on social media and revealed how the creative kid spent two weeks putting together the book.

He wrote on the fundraising page: ‘He decided he wanted to write a book, a part real life / part story on his love of all things WWE / Wrestling and his dream of being a WWE Superstar one day. 2 weeks of hard work every later – its complete.

‘The best part of his idea was that once complete – he would sell copies ofnhis book – “The Main Event of Wrestlemania” – and donate all the money raised to the NHS nurses working during this pandemic at our local hospital – The Monklands in Coatbridge/Airdrie.’
