It breaks my heart to write this, but just before Christmas, Sam was suffering from intense headaches which were misdiagnosed as nothing to worry about, until suddenly he had a bleed on the brain and required emergency surgery which has meant he's been unable to work for some time now.

During the surgery they discovered two tumours, one of which was an advanced stage 4 Melanoma, which had sadly spread across his body. Sam has already undergone a week of radiotherapy, and will begin immunotherapy right away to fight the cancer.

During this time, Sam obviously still can't work, and his partner Ash has to also work less to look after their beautiful boy Joey.

Please donate as little or as much as you can spare so that Sam can focus on beating this cancer, without having to worry about affording rent or nappies for Joey.

I had to fight with Sam to put out this appeal, as any of you that know him, will know he's not one to ever want charity, yet he would always be the first one there for us whenever anyone needed it. I'm so glad he eventually gave me permission to put out this page, so please do give whatever you can, and share this page to everyone who knows him.

All the money donated here goes directly to Sam's account, if you have donated then thank you so so much.
