Seth was diagnosed with a grade four metastatic large cell medullo blastoma with spinal dissemination. He was transferred to kings and operated on for 12 hours just three days before Christmas 2017, he has been on intensive chemo/radiation therapy since and is about to start chemotherapy.

As a group of friends from the boys previous primary school, we all empathised with Seth and the families plight. After all it could happen to any one of us.

Sam, Seth's mum had always given so much of her time and energy to the school and now as a full time mum of four she home schools her boys whilst managing the frequent hospital visits and treatments. She does all of this with a smile and a positive outlook.

We aim to raise money for the family, to allow them to be able to spend some quality time together, doing so, without the financial worries which often restrict families coping with health issues.

We know Sam, James and their fabulous boys, Isaac, Arthur, Rufus and Seth are over whelmed by the love and support being shown to them.

We decided to raise funds by attempting (and hopefully completing!) the 3 peaks challenge. This involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in under 24 hours, including the drive between them. It is a total ascent of 3064 metres over a distance of 23 miles.

We know it will be hard and we will need to be both mentally and physically strong .In recognition of this, we have started endurance training, which involves the challenge of juggling our everyday lives, but we know it doesn't come close to the strength shown by Sam and Seth and the family who have coped amazingly with this heartbreaking situation.

We hope your donations will go a little way to easing their pain.
