Last week I was chatting to my pal Gemma and she explained she was doing sugar free February.  This was in honour of a little boy that she knows, Sam.  

I have followed Sam's story through Gemma and I felt the very least I could do was also step up and join in.  

Sam's Story

Gemma's friend Tamsin's eldest son, Sam, was diagnosed with Lukaemia (ALL) back in 2013, aged 4. 

Four years-old ... I will just let that sink in. 

The boys are currently 4, so I am sure you can understand why this struck a cord with me. 

He has undergone intense treatment and is due to finish this in April 2017. The final hurdle is in sight, and doing this sugar free month means that, by the end of it, Sam will be mere weeks away from his end of treatment.

Tamsin, Sam, her husband Stuart and youngest son, Ross have somehow remained upbeat and strong throughout Sam's treatment. They have tried to keep life as normal as possible, Sam has attended school around his treatment, and they are an inspiration to all who know them.

Hopefully come April, Sam will ding that end of treatment bell and will have kicked cancer's butt. We are all cheering him on to that finish line.

So come and support me while I cheer on Sam! Thank you so much for any donations.
