Sam Kavanagh's dying wish to help his girls

Hello,

I was lucky enough to call Sam Kavanagh one of my dearest friends for close to 20 years.

He was struck a cruel blow and fought a brave cancer battle for the last couple of years that tragically claimed his young life on Saturday. He leaves behind his beautiful Fiance Kelly and their gorgeous daughter Siena.

I asked Sam is he wanted some financial help during his health battle and he said no, because he 'didn't want to have people feel sorry for him or think that he was making it about him'.

What he did ask was that once he passed, that I would ask our friends for help for Kelly and Siena.

In Sam's words, he would say 'When I die AJ, I need you to do a fundraiser for Kelly and Siena. I don't want Kelly to worry about money or working for a while, she needs time to grieve and be there for Siena'. He also hoped that some money raised could go towards them buying a forever home together.

Please if you could spare some dollars to make my friends wish come true, I would be very grateful and I know he would be too.

Or as Sam called me, AJ xx
