YouTuber KSI thanks 10-year-old charity fundraiser

The surprise meeting was arranged by BBC TV's The One Show

Social media star KSI has taken part in a surprise event to thank a 10-year-old girl who cycled from London to Paris to help fight her cousin's medical condition.

Mimi's charity ride in October 2024 was inspired by eight-year-old Dom who has Dravet Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.

For BBC TV's The One Show, the 10-year-old, from Middle Barton, Oxfordshire was taken by helicopter to meet her favourite celebrity, as well as Dom and other well-wishers.

The YouTuber, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, said Mimi's 285-mile trek was "insane" and "incredible".

Mimi spent four days cycling from London to Paris

He told The One Show: "Mimi is an amazing person, the fact that she's raised so much money for Dravet Syndrome."

Mimi spent four days on the cycle ride, raising more than £15,000.

Since 2022, she has also run 2km every day in the month of May as part of her efforts for the charity Dravet Syndrome UK.

The One Show took Mimi on a helicopter tour over London before landing in front of a crowd of supporters.

She immediately recognised KSI, exclaiming: "No way. Is it actually? Oh my God!"

Well-wishers gathered to thank Mimi for her charity efforts

The YouTuber showed her video messages that were recorded for the programme by some of the charity's beneficiaries.

In one clip, a mother told Mimi: "If it wasn't for incredible people like you, families like ours would really struggle."

Dravet Syndrome is a rare and life-limiting genetic neurological disorder.

It causes epilepsy and varying degrees of intellectual disability along with other conditions, according to Dravet Syndrome UK.

KSI is one of seven members of the Sidemen, a YouTube collective who have more than 22 million subscribers.
