Sam is one of the most beautiful people I know inside and out. She has an equally fantastic husband, Gary. And 3 gorgeous children. Natasha 18, Saskia 16 and Adie 11.

Sam and Gary’s youngest child Adie has been very poorly for the past 18 months , he has missed lots of school and has been fed by a feeding tube for many months and despite lots of hospital appointments, he was not getting any better.

In October, Adie started to have problems with his eye. Following a scan the family were given some devastating news Adie was diagnosed with brain Cancer..

One of his tumours has grown over the pituitary gland which controls everything in your body, eg appetite, thirst, growth, feelings etc

Adie has started chemotherapy and is on thyroxine, steroids and hydrocortisone medication for life now. He is also going to have a growth hormone to catch up as he hasn’t grown for the past 18 months.

They have amazing support from their families and friends.

I would like to raise a minimum of £500 (more would be amazing). Just to ease their everyday necessary bills and to possibly make a donation to the ward that Adie is being treated at the RVI.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could reach this target and more for such an amazing family. If we can double the target or more, once Adie is up to it, the money could also go towards a well deserved family holiday for some quality time together as a family unit.

Sam and Gary are incredibly proud people and would never ask for help. But I know there are so many of us that would be incredibly proud if we could just help a little bit.

Individually it may not be a lot, but together it could be massive.
