When Sam was 22 she arranged with a group of friend to run for McMillan cancer as she had lost her uncle in his 40’s to Cancer.

Sam was 24 when she became pregnant with her 2nd child, she worked nights as a carer but was unwell, she would pass out or bleed.

Sam could not afford to give up work, so she met with her manager and they agreed to put Sam on days in the office so the work was light and people were with her. Sam was told that if she felt unwell at any time then she was just to let her manager know she would not be in.

Sam gave birth to her son in November, she has a daughter also. On the day she gave birth tests were done to find out why she had been unwell and she was found to have Cancer.

Sam remained positive, she started treatment and at first it did seem that the tumour was shrinking. Then it spread to her lungs, bones and liver. Even now Sam says she will be returning to work, she is so inspirational.

On Sam’s wish list is to get married. We want to raise money for this and to support her family both now and during the months ahead.

Every little given will help this wonderful family that is dealing with so much when they should be enjoying their new baby and their daughter.
