Just had a look and i think its great. I think it is genuine, seems very well managed and very safe.
What a good idea!
Heart-breaking reading about how poorly the children are
But they all seem so brave, the smiley pics are lovely. :starmod: :staradmin :starmod:I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my knickers:starmod: :staradmin :starmod:0 -

What a wonderful web site.It actually brought tears to my eyes reading about some of them."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0

Have just been reading about some of the children and sniffing back tears as my children were looking with me. My two think it is a great idea to send a message and have chosen two children of similar ages. Great post, hope more people join in.0

Oh, I didn't realise it would do that! Well, I've left the link there for if anyone wants to join and check it.Hi, ive just had an email from a mum whose kid attends a hospital (hes terminly ill), most of the cancer kids have centeral lines in and kids used to get a little bag to wear around their neck to keep the lumens (ends of the tubes) in which keeps them cleaner to try and avoid infection. How ever exceter hospital doesnt have anyone making any for them and they have run out so kids can't get one.
Would anyone be willing to make one or some? They are just a very simple bag with ribbon attached which can be worn around the neck, preferable in kiddie friendly fabric (or decorated maybe?)
As i said the hospitals desperate for some but havent found anyone to make some, so they have asked us if we can find somenoe.

They have to be about 7cm by 16cm, but it doesn't matter as the children all come in different sizes anyway! But it's best to leave the ribbons long as then they can be trimmed if necessary. And it helps if they have a flap that fastens with velcro or a popper or something.Murphy's No More Pies Club #209

I'll show this site to my daughter as there are a few children there of a similar age she can send messages to.
Perhaps we can all remember these children when there are approporate freebies eg the Bratz wrist bands.
There are forwarding addresses on each profile that we could register them under.0 -
Well done magoogy. Excellent find!!
I am nominating this as Post of the Month and hope others will do the same.
Thank you for posting this thread.
I think that it should be made a 'Sticky'. Who agrees?
