He suffered a heart attack and was taken by air ambulance to James Cook Hospital.
The air ambulance crew was able to resuscitate Malcolm, but he later died in hospital.
Megan’s mother, Lynn Dodds, said her daughter wanted to raise money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance in recognition of their work to help Malcolm before his death.
“It’s such a worthy cause,” she added.
Following the event, Megan hopes to present a cheque to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity with the money raised.
