Sam's Story
Sam Day was both our 2011 and 2015 Ambassador for Cram The Stands. In fourth grade, Sam received his first diagnosis of Ewing-Sarcoma Cancer, a rare bone cancer that typically appears in children and accounts for 1% of all childhood cancers. Sam underwent many procedures including chemotherapy, radiation, trial treatments and numerous surgeries, including a below-the-knee amputation.
In March of 2014, Sam received a diagnosis showed multiple tumors in the lungs, a common spot for Ewing's to occur. He went on many trips to Seattle and Texas to test multiple trial treatments. Unfortunately, in August of 2016, Sam past away after fighting the disease for six years.
Meet sam
Sam never failed to light up a room with his personality. He loved to surf, snowboard, swim, participate in the theater program at school, and make his peers ache with laughter. Even after receiving his diagnosis, and enduring an amputation and treatment, Sam maintained his optimistic spirit. Sam even continued to surf with a prosthetic leg.
