'A Walk To Remember' was released in 2002 and starred Shane West and Mandy Moore in lead roles.
'A Walk To Remember' was directed by Adam Shankman. It was based on the novel by the same name published in 1999, which was written by American novelist Nicholas Sparks.
The original story written by Nicholas Sparks was inspired by his real-life sister Danielle, who was sadly diagnosed with cancer. The movie deals with the blossoming relationship between a high school senior named Landon Carter and the daughter of the local Baptist minister named Jamie Sullivan. Though the two characters are eventually married, Jamie's worsening battle with leukemia leads to her untimely death shortly after they tie the knot.
