Robyn's proud mum Wendy said: "We're all set for the competition and the £7000 has been raised.
"I can't thank Robyn's sponsors enough; Albert Batlerr, Teleperformance, K&T Plant Hire, Bell Decorators, WKW Accounting, Covenburn Contracts and the Airdrie Academy PTA.
"I'd like to thank everyone who attended the fundraising night too and participated in the raffle and bought cakes.
"You've all helped Robyn realise her dream."
