The Family wish to express their sincere thanks for the many kind messages of sympathy received at this time. During this difficult time, we felt that rather have flowers sent to the service, you may prefer to make a small donation to these chosen charities in Sam's honour: The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK, provide information, support and encouragement to those who suffer this excruciatingly painful condition. The aim is to raise awareness of TN within the medical community and the general public at large. As a registered charity, TNA UK is entirely dependent on donations and annual membership fees in order to continue its work. Alzheimer's Society is a care and research charity for people with dementia. The Royal British Legion is a charity providing financial, social and emotional support to members and veterans of the British Armed Forces, their families and dependents.
