Charlottechicken Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Has anyone seen this blog? www.alicepyne.blogspot.com It belongs to a young girl with terminal cancer who started a blog to inform her friends and family on her illness and for her to write down her bucket list. Heart wrenching reading but she is made of stern stuff, and sounds very upbeat. I hope she has many, many more posts to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 someone from here put it on their Facebook page which is how I first saw it. I'm one (of many by the replies I go!! ) who spent an evening e mailing various organisations to see if they would help. (cos I'm a busybody and a nag. ) There were about 300 or so followers if that when I had a look first of all, two days later she's up to nearly 8000!! Her post today says she's now going to see Take That which she didn't think she would and loads of other things on her bucket list are happening! So pleased for her and her family - a truly awful thing to have to go through, at least she's making some happy memories and living til the day she dies BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 How very humbling to read Alice's Blog....I hope she has a fabulous time with Take That.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodcat Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 She's a really really brave girl. I heard about her through postpals, it was mentioned on here awhile ago. I've periodically sent letters cards and photos because she loves dogs. If anyone can or wants to if you go here http://www.postpals.co.uk/ you can send her, her sister and other very ill kids cards or emails to help cheer them up.(i would add i'm not part of the charity i just think it's a really good cause) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 This is the link to Postpals; http://www.postpals.co.uk/ They are a fundraising group that are going for charity status (hopefully!) this year. It's such a simple idea & it only takes the price of a postage stamp to join in. Alice's sister Milly was a Pal until recently but would love lots of positive post too!
