Just when we thought that Sam was beginning to recover following two emergency operations in July 2016, which saw the remainder of her ruptured Appendix, Sepsis and a large part of her Colon removed, came the devastating blow that changed our lives in an instant.
On Monday 8th August 2016, my beautiful 33 year old sister and best friend, a caring Mother to two gorgeous young boys was dealt her unexpected diagnosis; Stage 4 Incurable Metastatic Colon Cancer.

Sadly, in January this year, Sam received further bad news; Secondary cancer in her Urethra and Pelvis. She will need to undergo another operation to remove this, but Sam’s desire for life along with her positive, brave and determined attitude continues to shine.

Sam has currently endured 10 cycles of chemotherapy but unfortunately her treatment has been on hold due to a large bleed at the beginning of February this year. Unsurprisingly Sam treats this as a minor setback and continues to smile throughout her relentless ordeal. She never ceases to amaze us with her phenomenal fighting spirit.

We are currently trying to raise funds to cover the cost of tests and private therapies/treatments that aren't available on the NHS. Finding Sam the best treatment available is imperative to help prolong her life. We hope this will also allow Sam to spend valuable time with her loved ones.

This is where we need your help.. absolutely any donation, no matter how big or small will help to assist my precious sister in her fight for a longer life.

Over the coming months we will be holding a number of fundraising events. We will also be posting regular updates on Sam's progress so you can follow her journey and battle against Cancer.

Thank you for taking the time to read Sam's story and for your generosity and support. My family and I are eternally grateful X
