He's been dubbed Super Sam, and this pintsized Pakenham pre-schooler is going to take on the Medibank Melbourne Marathon for a noble cause. Sam, 3, has been diagnosed with mild Cerebal Palsy, but that hasn't stopped him from living large. With the support of mum Bree Bartlett and the Cerebal Palsy Education Centre (CPEC), Sam hopes to make a big impression, He and Archer - featured in the PakenhamBerwick Gazette last week - are both fundraising for CPEC. Mrs Bartlett said she is extremely proud of Sam's progress in the eye of adversity. "We're extremely excited for him and so proud of him," she said. "When he started at CPEC he wasn't even walking and since then he has come a long way. He's an inspiration to all of us." According to Mrs Bartlett, Sam's condition puts him at an even higher risk because he is still able to manoeuvre. "It makes him really vulnerable to falling and hurting himself," she added. Joined by siblings Lilly and Harry, Sam will undertake a three kilometre leg of the famous trek. "We'll carry him if he gets tired or sore and help him out as much as we can," Mrs Bartlett said. Sam was diagnosed at the age of two after falling short of his developmental milestones. Since being at CPEC, he has learnt to walk and can even navigate stairs - a remarkable achievement considering his age and condition.
