Family of Race Across The World’s Sam Gardiner ‘Overwhelmed’ by Support - Liverpool Echo

Sam Gardiner, a 24-year-old contestant on BBC's Race Across The World, died on May 29 after a car crash on the A34 in Gatley near Cheadle.
On May 26, Gardiner was driving alone in a white Volkswagen Golf R station wagon when his vehicle veered off the road, rolled over, and came to rest on its side, resulting in his hospitalization.
Gardiner had competed alongside his mother Jo in the BBC show broadcast in March 2020, traveling across Mexico and Argentina while diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder .
His family created a JustGiving fundraiser for the National FASD charity, which has attracted donations from hundreds of people and raised more than £10,000; Jo expressed their deep gratitude for the huge outpouring of kind messages and encouragement they have received.
The family plans to hold a private ceremony later this month and expressed their gratitude to the BBC, production teams, contestants, and fans for their support during this challenging period.
