44 mile walk from Redcar to Scarborough for Leukodystrophy
Sarah and Sammy took on this epic challenge to raise money for Alex TLC
Sarah’s partner and Sam’s very good friend, Lee, was diagnosed with a rare leukodystrophy called Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) around 5 years ago.
From that moment, his life, and the lives of his close network of people changed forever.
Lee does everything he can to live as normal a life as possible and remains positive, with an excellent mindset which rubs off on those around him.
Earlier in the year, Lee suffered a seizure, and this is when Sarah and Sam, who have been best friends for years, decided it was time to give something back. They needed and wanted to do something! They decided to raise awareness and try to get some sponsors to help Alex TLC.
On the 1st May 2022 Sarah and Sam completed the toughest challenge they have ever done, and walked from Redcar Regent Cinema to Scarborough Promenade in fancy dress. It took them 17 hours and they raised the incredible total of £1260!
