About Unlock a Life for Lockey

Unlock a Life for LocKEY was set up in January 2014 by the family and friends of a boy named Laughlin Whiteley, known as ‘Lockey.' At aged 4 he overcame a brain tumour, then in early 2014 he received a stem cell transplant to fight off Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Now at only 7 years old, he battles his third round of cancer.

Laughlin told his parents (Andrea and John) that he would like to help other children like him, and they decided to set up the charity 'Unlock a Life for Lockey'.

The race is on to now find a cure for Laughlin, and we thank everyone for their support and well wishes.

Team Laughlin continue with Lockey's wish; fundraising and spreading awareness to help children with cancer.Our charity is based in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. Please click here to find out more.

How do we help to UNLOCK a life?

Through Laughlin's treatment we discovered a number of KEY things that made a significant difference. These three keys have become the aims of Unlock a Life For Lockey:

The Happy Shack

It is difficult for families with a child being treated for cancer to continue to enjoy family time together in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Concerns about access and the appropriateness of facilities, along with the costs involved, often prevent these families from enjoying the benefits of outdoor activities.  The Happy Shack will provide families with the chance to enjoy a low-cost day together, enjoying the benefits of a relaxed outdoor 'holiday' environment, that is tailored to their needs.

Families with children who are or have been recently treated for cancer can book to use the beach hut for a family day trip.  While the use of this newly-built hut has been kindly donated by The East Anglian Group, donations will be used to provide appropriate equipment and facilities in the hut, travel expenses, and seaside treats such as ice-creams and other refreshments.
