The launch of Sam’s Sports Legacy was announced at his memorial service on 23 May 2017.
The aim of the Legacy is to raise funds to support sports programmes for the disadvantaged and disabled which would have captured Sam’s own imagination and enthusiasm. the programme is administered by Boost.
Since May 2017, over £250,000 has been raised.
The funds have been generated in two ways - firstly by friends, former work colleagues and family of Sam, participating in (mainly) endurance events. Secondly, a considerable number of remarkably generous donations.
Projects supported by Sam’s Legacy have included:
GB Wheelchair Rugby
Powerchair Football
Belvoir Cricket & Countryside Trust
