A Stroke of Luck

Our Story

Last year, our world shifted when I had a stroke. Inspired by my 10-year-old daughter Daisy’s love and creativity, fear and uncertainty were soon replaced with laughter, hope, and more than a little bit of paint.

With Daisy, her brother Oscar, and my wife Ella by my side, I found calm, joy and recovery in the most magical place.

With close to a million social views, ‘A Stroke of Luck’ became our way of turning challenge into colour, humour, and connection — a reminder that even in hard times, life can still be good. Maybe…even better.

Come see our story for yourself at The Pie Factory — surfboards, canvases, and a little ray of positivity, all by the sea.

With love,

Sam & Daisy
