Friends of one of the hikers who died in the Italian Dolomites are trying to raise £1,000 for charity in his memory.
35-year-old Sam Harris was the co-owner of an antiques store in New Malden.
He was reported missing along with his friend Aziz Ziriat on the 6th of January when they failed to check in for their flight home. Aziz is still missing.
Money collected is to be split between Doctors without Borders, The Alpine Rescue Service and St Mungos Homeless Charity.
A Humanist service will be held for Sam in Teddington on Tuesday the 4th of February.

Friend’s tribute on Just Giving.
“The world lost Sam at the beginning of this year and ever since people who knew him from around the globe have been In touch with the family, sharing stories, offering their condolences, and asking how they might be able to help maybe with expenses etc.
We would like any donations in the memory of Sam to go to three charities that we know he would have approved of.
The money will be collected in a pot and then divided.”
