Samuel ( ricks cousins son) was born with a very rare condition called Total Intestinal Hirschsprung's Disease. He was given 3 months to live when he was born and is now 17 making him the oldest surviving person in the UK with this disease.

Because of this disease, he lives on an IV pump 18 hours a day 7 days a week which gives him total parenteral nutrition because he cannot eat. He's had over 60 surgeries and spent most of his life in Yorkhill Hospital, Glasgow.

A wee message from Samuel......
I never know what lies ahead for tomorrow but I live life to the full everyday and believe I am a miracle, that I'm here for a reason and I just want to make a difference.
