" Sophie Lancaster sadly died on August 24th 2007, following the horrific attack on her and her partner Rob in Stubbeylee Park, Bacup,Lancashire UK on the 11th August.  Sophie and Rob were beaten by a group of teen boys because Sophie and Rob dressed in their unique way(goth), expressing their individuality as creative artistic people. Rob survived but Sophie died in the hospital two weeks after the attack. This has been dubbed the most inhumane, horrific violence to ever occur. I have consulted with both family and friends and we feel that Sophie's Memorial Fund should be set up. Alongside the fund we haved launched a campaign for Sophie; it will be known as S.O.P.H.I.E
This stands for:

Stamp
Out
Prejudice
Hatred +
Intolerance
Everywhere

The fund will be run by a committee of family and close friends who knew Sophie. The aims of the fund will be to provide an appropriate memorial; a lasting legacy to raise awareness of the injustice perpetrated against Sophie Lancaster and to work towards a more tolerant, less violent society.

UPDATE The trial of Brendan Harris started on the 10th March 2008 after Ryan Herbert pleaded to the murder of Sophie. The trial lasted three weeks and Harris was found guilty unanimously by the jury after only a short deliberation. Sentencing took place on the 28th April 2008 , where Harris received an 18 year term and Herbert a 16 year term. Both were life sentences. All five defendants including brothers Joseph and Danny Hulme and Daniel Mallett also had pleaded guilty to the Section 18 Assault with intent of Rob, and were given 5.5 years and 4.5 years respectively. They were sentenced as "Dangerous Offenders" under the 2003 Dangerous Offenders Act and will be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure until it is deemed that they are no longer a threat to the public. It was announced in June that they are all to seek leave to appeal against their sentences. Following the trial we have established THE SOPHIE LANCASTER FOUNDATION. Through the Foundation we hope to provide training to professionals in order to raise awareness of the prejudice and violence faced by people from alternative subcultures. We will develop and deliver workshops tackling the issues and challenging pre-conceptions. We want to offer advice and information to whoever may it need it. We will continue the social and political campaigning in the same dignified manner we have adhered to since the attack on Sophie and Rob though the S.O.P.H.I.E. Campaign. As of July 2008, over £22,000 has been raised through the fantastic efforts of many people throughout the UK and beyond. We would like to thank everyone for their kindness in organising and supporting these events."

My prayer- May you rest in peace and may your spirit live on within us all.

Funny thing is tonight me and Jay fell in love all over again. How this is possible no clue but it makes heartfelt moments and brings us closer and more happy. One factor that did contribute to this times moment was that we were listening to the love songs cd he burned of our favorite love balleds/songs. ::tear:: Only problem is he had to go home for work and i'm missing him now dreadfully. Until we are living together i know i'll still feel hurt everytime he has to leave me and go back home. Damn this sucks..::sigh:: well i must be off to bed and also wait for Jay to call me when he gets home. So goodnight and byebyes.....

P.S. True love exists, never stop believing.
