Robyn is an amazing and brave young lady and she needs your support. Whatever you can spare would be greatly appreciated.
From robynslife.com:
Robyn is now 8 yrs old. At the age of 3 Robyn was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. A tumour was found in her chest and head and tests showed that the cancer had already spread to many parts of Robyn’s body. This meant Robyn’s cancer was stage 4, this put her survival rate at 20%-30%.

Robyn has since endured Chemotherapy, Surgery, Stem cell transplant, Radiotherapy and 6 months on tablets to try to kill any remaining cancer cells.
70%-80% of children diagnosed with Neuroblastoma will relapse!!!
Robyn stayed in remission for 4 and a half years but on the 9th of July 2013 we got the devastating news that Robyn has relapsed.
The treatment available in Ireland for children that relapse is very limited but there are cutting edge trial treatments available in hospitals in America and Europe. We are desperately trying to raise funds for these treatments – the treatments there start at €350000 and can end up costing double this or more.
We need people to make donations, organise events, give raffle prizes, volunteer your time to make collections at events – anything you can do to help – we need”
Robyn has been through some tough times, but we can help her. All the details you need to donate online are here. Please give what you can.
