Single Story: Awake Wake
Samanda Ford, aka "the queen of positivity" was never one to miss a party - even her own funeral wake. The charity fundraiser and radio agony aunt was diagnosed with colon cancer in late 2017, and last summer was told she had just months to live. It was in Sam's nature to continue to find the silver lining in everything. This mini episode of Multi Story was presented and produced by Becca Bryers. With contributions from Stuart Howells at BBC Radio Suffolk.
