Sam's Superheroes

Sam's Superheroes was founded by Rachel in 2021 to create an ever-lasting legacy for Sam, her much-loved kind and gentle son who in died in May 2021, aged five years old. Sam's love of superheroes is at the heart of our charity, but it also embodies his other loves and values. We fund and carry out emotional well-being activities centered around kindness and his love of animals, crafting, outdoors, music and nature. We are proud to have trained Sam's dog, Daisy, as a Therapy Dog who visits local organisations and schools on behalf of Sam's Superheroes, making people smile by sprinkling her superhero magic where ever she goes! In addition, we try to raise awareness of the exceptionally rare Febrile Infection Related Epilepsy Syndrome (F.I.R.E.S.)., which strikes out of the blue, in previously healthy people, the outcomes of which are usually catastrophic.
