Nottingham Hospitals Charity and Lincolnshire based Charity Sophie’s Journey are collaborating on Sunday, the 25th March 2018 at the Chameleon Arts Café, Angel Row in Nottingham to stage a live music gig to raise money for the Children’s Cancer and Neuroscience Wards at the cities Hospital.
Sophie’s Journey was the name given by 12 year old Sophie Robinson to her facebook community page, to document her two year battle against Medulloblastoma. Written as an aid to help children who may go through the same experience in the future. The page also became a focus for Sophie’s fundraising. By 2016 £50,000 in total had been raised towards Childhood Cancer Causes.

Sophie’s mother and fundraising partner Stacy Southwell registered Sophie’s Journey as an official charity with the mission to provide free holidays for children, teenagers and their families around the U.K living with cancer, at its static van at Golden Sands Holiday Park in Mablethorpe.
