The Race Across The World contestant's mum says they have received "tens of thousands" of messages.

The family of Race Across The World contestant Sam Gardiner have said they are "overwhelmed" by the love and support they have received following his death.

Mr Gardiner, 24, who took part in the BBC show alongside his mother Jo, died in hospital following a crash on the A34 near Manchester on 26 May.

His family set up a fundraiser in his memory for the National Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) charity which has raised more than £10,000.

Ms Gardiner said her son had been diagnosed with the condition, which can develop when someone has been exposed to alcohol in the womb, and added: "If some good comes of this tragedy, it will be that FASD is better understood".
