Story

This page has been set up as part of the legacy left by Sam, he wanted his work to be continued and we shall make sure it is!

Sam collapsed with a brain tumour the 19th march 2009 he was given an hour to live , if he didn't receive any intervention. Many operations and lots of hard work later he left hospital and relearnt to walk, talk, read, write...and just about everything else!! He was astonishing remaining optimistic and determined with a fabulous sense of humour and a smile that won hearts!

Sam was realistic and saw that others just didn't get the impact of a brain tumour on your life, so, he thought he would do something about that and he did. He worked hard on enlightening and raising awareness in as many people as possible, using his charm and natural ability to engage with people. Whether at school or in the European Parliament he just chatted to people, his ready enthusiasm carrying things along and collecting people as he went.

We always said that those who met Sam took a little bit of him away with them in their hearts, and so he will never be forgotten as someone will be thinking of him.

Sam could not meet his last challenge and left us peacefully on 3rd september, he had long ago given us his expectation that if he was no longer here we should continue raising awareness about brain tumours, because if we didn't what was the point in all he was doing!! So very much Sam and so to the point.  

So, here we are doing our best to continue to raise awareness and funds, still missing him so very much , but doing as he said and being out there and telling the story. xx
