Despite being told that his kidneys had now reached the point at which failure had become more imminent; Sam decided to give up his job and try and raise £20,000 for his charity Alport UK. He cycled round Europe and got as far as Albania before lockdown occurred and he somehow managed to get home. Then when lockdown was eased he managed to cycle from Land's End to John O' Groats to complete the journey. The £20,000 was reached about a week after arriving home from Scotland. Sam suffers from a disease called Alport Syndrome where the kidneys slowly stop working all together. As a professional film maker he's also documented the journey throughout with some amazing shots and film work. He also skydived in as many cities as he could along the way. The money raised is being used by Alport UK for their 'Don't Wait Fund' which is helping young people participate in activities which would normally be beyond their reach, thus helping them to improve their mental health whilst living with the illness
