Helping the Lock family during Robyns treatment for Hodgkins Lymphoma

Nationwide

The Locks are a loving close knit family .

Recently Robyn was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and has had to stop her university studies in the UK whilst she has treatment. Jaine has had to travel back to support Robyn during this time and will remain with her while the treatment continues.

Andrew has returned to their home in Christchurch, New Zealand with their youngest daughter Roxanne to maintain the family home and continue Roxanne's schooling.

The costs involved in flying between the two countries and the additional living expenses are huge.

Friends, family, colleagues and well-wishers have banded together in various fundraising activities to try and help remove some of the financial stresses that Andrew, Jaine, Robyn and Roxanne will face while they fight this cancer.

If you are able to help with a donation, no matter how small, it will go such a long way towards helping them.

Over the years they have been involved in supporting many fundraising events and charities and they are very humbled and grateful for all the help they are receiving.

Thank you xxx

Latest update

Just a little update  10 April 2015

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone for your donations....every cent counts and is very very much appreciated. Everything donated goes directly to the Lock family.

Robyn completed her final course of chemo this week. Her pic line is out and she is a bit more mobile now and enjoying swimming and exercising again.

Robyn has scans in a fortnight followed by a consultant review in May, so keep your fingers crossed everyone and lots of positive thoughts.

The entire family are extremely grateful for all the donations and it really has made a difference to them and has helped offset some of the huge costs involved.

I will update more next month but please know that you have all been amazing and really have made a difference. xxx

Thank you.
