Hello, thank you for wanting to send something The link for the mail stats page is http://www.postpals.co.uk/mailstats.php (currently can be found on the "5 easy steps to make a sick child smile" on the home page but we plan to put the link down the side too)

Laura could do with some smiles in the post at the moment

Thanks again, Viks

Post Pals are looking for people to become "Elves" and "Reindeers" this Christmas.
An Elf is someone who is assigned a child who they gather gifts up to the value of £15 for and sends them off in early December.

A Reindeer is someone who is assigned a young child and sends 9 cards during the month of December, one from each reindeer talking from the reindeers perspective ie talking about the sleigh getting full, getting ready for the big night etc

In the past both schemes have proven very popular- one girl believed that the reindeer wrote to her because she helped her mum look after her disabled brother, and a little boy was reassured as the reindeer had written to him at the hospital which meant Santa knew that he was there so wouldn't get missed out. The Elf scheme always brings about huge smiles, this link is a picture of 10 year old Nikita with her elf gift last year, it was taken a couple of weeks before she passed away on Christmas Eve from cancer http://postpals.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=309 I think it shows just how much it means to these families.

If you would like to be an Elf or Reindeer (or both) then please drop us a line on [EMAIL="info@postpals.co.uk"]info@postpals.co.uk[/EMAIL] stating your name, email address and how many children you would like to be an elf or reindeer for and also please let us know if you are happy to do an elf box for teenage boys as volunteers for this age group is hard to find.

It would also been a great help if you could forward this email onto your address book please, we have 105 Elves to find!

Thank you,

What a bunch of brave and wonderful children. I wish I could do something for all of them and their families. I'm going to be busy for the next few weeks and I'll make sure all the people I know hear about this amazing website. It's also prompted me to pass my details onto the bone marrow register, I'm not sure how to post the link but I just googled it. Even if I only help 1 person it will be well worth it.
