);
A FILM-MAKER who chronicled his charity bicycle ride across Europe has had to rename his campaign because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Sam Clarke, who has a degenerative kidney disease, planned to publish weekly highlights from his travels under the slogan Scrap the Mask because he wants viewers to share their own struggles and not hide behind a “mask” of false happiness.
But he has now adopted the moniker Adventure Man Sam following criticism from strangers who wrongly assumed that he opposed the use of face coverings to control the covid-19 outbreak.
