*** UPDATE: Due to a knee injury and then the Reading half marathon being cancelled due to bad weather, I am now running the Reading 10K race for life in honour of Sammy***

I am raising money for this wonderful boy who is very dear to us. He has a very special relationship with my son Oliver.

Sammy Devenny age 8 is non verbal and has severe sensory processing problems. His diagnosis' to date include Autism , Global Developmental Delay, Learning Disability , PICA and ADHD .

Sammy has been going privately to the Swiss Medica Stem Cell Clinic in Belgrade, (two visits so far) for breakthrough stem cell treatment which isn't available in the UK. The clinic anticipate improving Sammy's quality of life in so many ways which he so desperately deserves. Being able to talk to his mummy, daddy and brothers verbally is a possibility with this treatment.... being able to eat a normal diet... being able to understand his birthday... imagine. It can change his whole world.

Sammy's parents Emma & Paul are paying for everything themselves and we really want to help them. It is costing tens of thousands. They are very special friends and the most wonderful people you could ever meet. We are so lucky to have the Devenny's in our life. They are devoted to the care and well being of Sammy and such amazing parents.

Please help us to give Sammy the medical treatment and support that he so desperately deserves.

Thank you so much,

Annalee Hedges
