Diamond Logistics partner with Sophie’s Journey.
The sad news of the Kings Cancer diagnosis reminds us all how cancer impacts all our lives.
Our partners at Sophie’s Journey – based in Lincoln and led by Bob Fenwick along with founders Sophie & Ben, announced this week that they will be supporting local charity, Sophie’s Journey, by allowing them to use one of our vehicles to transport equipment to the events that they do throughout the year.
Sophie’s Journey was set up in memory of the founders daughter, Sophie Robinson from Lincoln, who sadly passed away in January 2016, aged 12, after a two-year battle with medulloblastoma – an aggressive cancerous tumour in her brain.
Using their two dedicated caravans at Golden Sands Holiday Park in Mablethorpe, they provide free holidays to Lincolnshire children living with cancer and their families.
When I asked Bob why he decided to support, Bob remarks:
“Giving back to the community is important, if we can make that small difference in helping them with the use of our vans so they can attend more events to raise that much needed awareness about what Sophies Journey charity does and in hope they reach more families to allow these children to be children by having a holiday by the sea and making memories, then to us we are more than happy to provide the vans for such a amazing cause!”
The Support will start March as the team at Sophie’s journey take “all the new wonderful donations we have relieved from the community to start the season in the caravans”.
The team at Sophie’s journey comment: “As a small charity this will make a massive difference to us it will mean we will be able to attend more events through Lincolnshire which will help us to raise awareness of the charity and childhood cancer, and reach more families”.
Good on you, Bob, from all here at diamond HQ.
