RCN 1168194
Our charity has been set up in memory of our beautiful daughter Sophie Robinson who passed away in January 2016 after a courageous 2 yr battle with a brain tumour, in them 2 years she managed to raise over 40 thousand for Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre in Nottingham with the help of her army Through Sophie's Cancer Journey on Facebook doing many events. Sophie had one wish and that was for nobody else to go through what she did, sadly we cant promise this but we promised Sophie that we as a family will help others in a different way by providing free holidays to children with cancer under the age of 18 years. Allowing the family's to make special memory's like we did back in 2015 when we was given a weeks holiday through Ben's Den. Our charity will provide holidays from the static vans that will be placed at the Haven site Golden Sands in Mablethorpe Lincolnshire where we created lasting memory's with Sophie. So please dig deep and get behinds us so we can help other families create them special memory's

Story

In April I'll be running the Boston* (half) Marathon with my colleagues from the Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind project.

We'll be raising money for good causes local to where the wind farm is planned to be built; in and around Lincolnshire. I've chosen to raise money for Sophie's Journey, a great charity who provide free holidays for children living with cancer, and their families: https://www.sophiesjourney.org.uk/.

Any donation you're able to make would be much appreciated and go a long way to the £500 it costs to provide a family with a weeks holiday.

* The original Boston marathon, in Lincolnshire
