Ensuring parents are fed is one of Sophies main wishes. She could never understand why I was never offered food. We really shouldn't be allowing parents to be starving in hospital or stressing about where they can find some. We fed every parent in Portsmouth hospital tonight.

Two years ago when we lost Sophie. Two years we've lived with the heavy, heartbreaking pain not feeling ever complete. Sophie's life cut way too short, she had so much more to give. We're doing just what Sophie wanted us to do by supporting families in hospital. #NeverForgotten

Every parent in Portsmouth hospital fed last night. To hear of families getting into debt to fed themselves whilst in hospital is just plain wrong. The government and NHS have the ability to change this and I'm begging them to please do something for families that are desperate

To have parents contact us every week saying how hungry they are when in hospital with their child is just so wrong. We are expecting parents to stay overnight with their child in hospital and offer no food or cooking facilities. Only access to expensive shops! It has to change

Fathers Day has now become one of the most difficult days of the year for me as 1 of my 3 children is no longer with us and a piece of me is broken. Losing a child is simply the wrong order and its something I will always struggle to come to terms with. #FathersDay

Loved sharing why play in hospital was so important for Sophie and why change is needed. Sophies words were "you wouldn't run a ward without nurses, I don't think you should run a word without play specialist." Children's voices should be heard and action taken.

I struggled watching Gogglebox last night with the two stories of a 2 Yr old and 22 yrd who died of cancer. It was an episode raising money for Stand up to Cancer. The money goes to Cancer Research UK who only invest 3% of their money on 0-24 Yr old. Surely they should be...1/2

It is so important to look after those who need it. Families in hospital shouldn't have to decide how many meals can they afford or how often can they visit their sick baby because of travel costs. These are some basic needs which we cover as s charity. #feedtheparents #NHS

It is so important parents and health professionals know the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer. 80% of children have stage 4 cancer by the time they're diagnosed. 1 in 450 children are diagnosed with cancer under the age of 15. It is still the NUMBER ONE killer of children.

Have you signed up for Sophie's Halloween 10k yet? You can run, walk, cycle, swim or do 1k everyday for 10 days. Sophie designed this medal shortly before she died, she wanted people to move whilst they still can. Go to to order your medal.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We are determined to make it easier for families in hospital so they can just concentrate on their child and not on trying to get food, toiletries or transport! We will keep pushing for change. #sophieslegacy

@Sophieslegacy10 Sophie’s legacy has made such a difference to the lives of children at QA. They practically support parents and young people above and beyond what would have been thought possible. They are an amazing team. Every paeds dept should have Sophie’s legacy on their team

1 in 450 children under age 15 are diagnosed with cancer. Early detection is crucial to survival. This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth I want to increase awareness of the signs & symptoms of childhood cancer @Sophieslegacy10 @theresecoffey

@anna_annabav @KerrElliott As a parent whose daughter died aged 10 I think this is so important to be discussing. We aren't great as a society talking about death especially when it comes to children. Parents and children need honesty so it can help them in making decisions.

We've been working with @minifirstaiduk to spread awareness of childhood cancer. Spreading awareness about childhood cancer is so important to us. Making sure parents know to look out for the signs and symptoms is essential. Take a look...

For #WorldCancerDay we're asking for more emphasis to be placed on children and young people. It is still the NUMBER ONE killer of children by disease in the UK. 12 children everyday will be diagnosed with cancer. It has to start changing. @SteveBarclay

I gave blood today and wanted to encourage as many of you who can give blood to do so. Sophie needed lots of blood and platelet transfusions throughout her journey and without people donating blood/platelets she wouldn't have been able to get through her treatment. It saves lives

Yes we so do. An hour meeting with @mariacaulfield and @cj_dinenage I really hope change happens for the thousands of children who are diagnosed with this evil disease. It's time for change, they've waited decades for the priority to be children.

@Ruthsmaw @itsgood2give That's brilliant, we also want every single parent fed no matter what us wrong with your child. So many sad stories on this thread of parents going hungry. It is so wrong.
