Story

It's been a long 3 months but the rally is nearly upon us. 6 countries and 2000 miles in a Silver Arrow with only 150,000 on the clock and 17 previous owners. Worth every penny of the £490 invested. We head for the sun and back with a group of intrepid drivers under the banner Al's Miles for Smiles Rally. We do it in the name of the Alexandra Sales Trust which is so close to our hearts and we again ask for your kind support. All money raised goes to providing "Smile" money for young people suffering from cancer.

Keep smiling, keep giving and keep driving.

Thanks for your support.

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.
