Sam and Amy Castle- Cuppycakes combined...



On November 13th, 2008, I had the pleasure of meeting Sam, the adorable boy who did a lip-syncing rendition of my Cuppycake song.

The show, "The Doctors" saw the video of him on YouTube, and wanted to have him on their show. They tracked Sam down, and found out that he lives in Alaska with his parents and siblings.

He has a rare kidney condition, and takes steroids to keep him alive. The steroids have stunted his growth, resulting in his chubbier appearance.

Sam and his mother Angie flew all the way from Alaska to be on "The Doctors." They're going to put him in touch with the best doctors to try to find an alternative medicine to help him get better.

Sam is an extremely intelligent young man. We spent our time talking about video games, and youtube. He's seen some of the not so nice comments on his video, and they're tough for him to read. He hopes that people won't judge him before knowing his story.

Update: His episode of The Doctors will air on December 1st. Check your local listings for the channel and time.
