'We know we can't do nothing' - Mum's plea to raise life-changing funds for daughter (13)Robyn Smyth (13) has fought neuroblastoma four times since she was first diagnosed in 2007. It's most commonly discovered in children under the age of five, and almost 10 new cases are diagnosed in Ireland every year. Although she received a clear scan in April, Robyn's parents are eager to get her from their home in Whitehall, Dublin to New York for a vaccine trial that could save her life. We know we can't do nothing, she's currently on two inhibitor drugs as well as chemotherapy," her mother Bernadette told Independent.ie. Bernadette explained that although no exact cost has been provided to them yet, consultants have estimated at least €250,000 for the vaccine trial.
