Running for Samantha
Donation protected
Hi, Lynsey, Laura and myself are running the Glasgow half marathon for our beloved friend and colleague Samantha.
Samantha is part of our Willowbank school family and we all want to do what we can.
We would greatly appreciate if you can donate what you can. We completely understand that this is a tough time financially for everyone. So please donate what you can, as Samantha would not want anyone going without to help her and her family.
This beautiful young family have received the most heartbreaking news. Samantha has just recently received the news that she has terminal cancer and has only a few months left to live.
Samantha is a friend and a work colleague. She is the most selfless and kind person you could ever meet. Always thinking of others and putting everyone before herself.
A few months ago, Samantha was enjoying her maternity leave with her baby girl. She suffered from back pain, but continued on without complaining.
Eventually she went to get her back pain checked out. To be completely blindsided that she had cancer, the most aggressive cancer the hospital have ever seen in a 26year old.
The cancer is in her spine, spleen, breast, bones and internal organs.
The way in which Samantha received this news is remarkable and continuing to think of everyone else and not thinking of herself.
The family are dealing with enough stress and processing this unimaginable news. If we could raise some money to take away one less stress this is the least we can do to help support this wonderful young family.
Samantha's motto is she wanting to be 'Hopeful, but Realistic'.
