A three-year-old from Moray who died of cancer in 2009 has inspired a new respite caravan in Lossiemouth.

Logan Main passed away after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of the disease. During the final 11 months of his life, the Elgin youngster spent just four nights at home.

Now, a caravan bearing his name has been opened in his honour in Lossiemouth, so that families with children undergoing cancer treatment can spend more time together.

Logan’s Fund chairman Cameron Mackintosh said: “It could be their only opportunity for family time. Holidays take a back seat completely when children are going through treatment.

“You can’t plan for holidays because you don’t know what’s going to happen week to week.”

For the last three years, the Lossiemouth Bay Caravan Park has donated stays at the coast for families deserving of a break.

When an empty plot came up with a sea view, the group moved quickly to secure it for £44,000, with significant five-figure donations from another two funds set up in honour of north-east children, Olivia Downie and Isla Simpson.

The first family moved into the caravan, which is called Logan’s Sunny Days, this week, following a rainbow ribbon being cut. Bookings are already full for the next two months, despite the group keeping the project under wraps.

Mr Mackintosh added: “We haven’t really promoted it until we knew it was ready, so it’s all been by word of mouth really. Now that it has launched, we’re going to approach charities to let them know we have this facility in Lossiemouth.”
