BESTIES Lucy and Sammy first appeared on Born Different in 2018 where they shared their albinism journeys. Speaking to Truly, Sammy explained, "Seven years on, we're still thriving!" Lucy and Sammy may not live in the same town now, but that doesn't stop their friendship and the support they give each other as they navigate life with albinism. "It just doesn't feel like we're best friends, it feels like we're sisters," Lucy gushed. With Lucy now living in Melbourne with her own guide dog, Dottie, and Sammy living with boyfriend, Ryan, the friends have experienced many big life changes and they'll be filling us in throughout this episode. From getting degrees to mentoring and volunteering for charities - these two have been keeping very busy! Reflecting, Lucy said, "The great thing about being connected through albinism is Sammy and I will always have this special bond with each other."
