Samantha's story is best told in her own words - "Between the ages of 30-32, I was given 3 ‘terminal’ diagnosis following a series of events. The first one had an 8 week deadline to raise the funds, avoid death and travel 5,000miles for the surgeries.

I was internally decapitating. Surgeons refused to operate in the U.K. but neurosurgeons in the USA could help - at an immense cost. It was a price I couldn't afford.

Facing a monumental task and armed only with a small group of friends; The ‘Save Samantha’ campaign was created.

I had 8 weeks to fund & travel for the surgeries. Despite never having campaigned or crowdfunded before, the 'Save Samantha' campaign was incredibly successful and raised approx >£500,000 for my lifesaving Neurosurgeries.

One surgery became four, each one requiring crowdfunding & a need to relearn how to walk, talk and function again.

Each surgery left me with less and less movement of my head and spine.

This was just the beginning of a series of unbelievable, emotional and life shattering curveballs that my family & I overcame."
