Story
We are raising money to donate to a children's cancer charity.
Sam is 10 years old. He loves football, farming and gaming. He is funny and was, until recently, an outgoing and active young man. Sam has recently been diagnosed with osteosarcoma; he is on round two of chemo and is due to start his third lot Monday 9th April 2018. He is fighting as much as he can, but as expected he is losing his hair quickly and the effects of the chemo are taking their toll.
Sam has an amazing mum; Jill who, has had given up her job and her life to support her son through this. He also has an amazing big brother, Pete, who is staying strong and supportive of his little brother as best he can. His dad, Jon, is travelling to support him also during chemotherapy between working.
To raise money Jill is shaving her head. Please donate anything you can to raise money for this and send all your positive thoughts Sams way.

Sam enjoyed the pointed to point and he also managed a whole afternoon at school 💪. I’ve also had a visit from the doctor as I have scolded my hand under the hot water tap in the parents kitchen🙈😂 it’s 3:00 am and I’m sat here with a big bag of ice on my hand 🤪🙈😂😂
