Hi, I will be riding this years Cycle Challenge for a very worthy cause that is close to my heart, Footprints 4 Sam.
Footprints 4 Sam Trust was set up in memory of Sam who was born on 9 April 2015, spent all 15.5 months of his short life in hospital, never went outside, never went home and endured countless medical interventions. Footprints 4 Sam offers change, hope, dignity, mutual respect and connectedness for other children and families in similar situations. The Trust fulfils this dream through a few simple initiatives aimed at serving underprivileged children and their families as each day they face the difficult journey of living with a life limiting condition.

Footprints 4 Sam is a Trust formed in memory of Samuel John Frederick Platt. A beautiful boy known to all those that love him as Sam. Sam spent his entire life in hospital, all fifteen and half months having never had the opportunity to go outside and play or go home.
Following Sam’s death, Fred and Melissa wanted Sam’s healthcare journey, which was far from perfect, to offer change, hope, dignity, mutual respect and connectedness for other children and families in similar situations. This was the start of Footprints 4 Sam.
The Trust fulfils this dream through a few simple initiatives aimed at serving underprivileged children and their families as each day they face the difficult journey of living with a life limiting condition. These complex conditions are often burdensome to the family and the Trust’s 6 key initiatives offer something tangible and beautiful in the midst of much pain and suffering.
It is our mission to leave Footprints of change in neonatal and paediatric wards countrywide, through the cultivation of a healthcare culture of swift and broad-based intervention, early diagnosis and real and achievable family centred solutions, which promote excellence of life for both child and family. Changing lives one footprint at a time…
