Story

Please help support Al's Gal's on our challenge to walk the perimeter of the Isle of Wight's coastal path, approximately 66 miles, in 24 hours! 

Any donations large or small will go towards helping The Alexandra Sales Trust continue their work in providing 'smile money' to children and young people living with cancer. Sadly with so many children and families needing that support, the Trust's work is never done and we know that this challenge will contribute to enable the trust to reach out to more families in gifting children and young people some time out of the every day reality of treatment and coping with cancer. 

With huge dedication from us all on the training front, we are up for the challenge of walking for a straight 24 hours, without any sleep, come rain or shine, where only food and water breaks will be had along the way.

Thank you for your support, it is hugely appreciated in helping the Trust continue their work and to keep Alexandra's memory alive, who was just 17 when she passed away in 2014 from a rare form of cancer.

About the charity

The Trust has been set up to create a legacy in the memory Alexandra, who, on the 2nd April 2013 was diagnosed with Mastitis Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare, rapidly spreading soft tissue cancer. She passed away on the 16th September 2014 aged just 17. The ethos of our Trust is to support children and young people aged 1 to 24 who have been diagnosed with Cancer. The support given to Alexandra during her illness by the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey was without fault. We the Trust and her many friends are committed to raising as much money as possible to help other children in similar circumstances. Alexandra was able to benefit from a number of small charities. A personal shopper day at Top Shop. She was so excited when she came home explaining her day. She was able to have a real hair wig to feel 'normal' for her school prom and was so proud of the MAC laptop she was given. Alexandra requested it because she had every intention, when she recovered, of studying photography as an A level. These donations made her happy and gave her something positive to focus on, a distraction which helped her cope mentally with the enduring treatment. This is the aim of our Trust, to raise ‘Smile Money’. We want to give something to young people being treated for cancer . Maybe it will be another Mac Laptop or a weekend away for the family. We want to gift a memory.
