    this is a wonderful idea, I have lots of cuddly toys I would like to send to the children, but I don't know which ones to pick, wondering if the ones with names beginning with A get the most post as they're first on the list?
    Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier- I thought I had until now! We changed the way pals were displayed as Pals who started with A were getting more post but that is now no longer the case.

    Aled G gets very little mail but goes through a lot.
    Joe B hasn't had much post recently
    Kirsty- ADORES teddies/cuddly
    Darin- in need of TLC (soon having surgery to remove some of the tumour again as its pressing on the brain stem)
    Samara- in need of TLC due to a friend passing away
    Jack Bradley B-relapsed and in hospital having chemo


    The siblings get missed out the most, but they love to get post and we try our best to make them feel included

    Thank you very much for wanting to send cuddlies to them

    Take care

    Viks
    ps)Please could you add them to our mailstats page when you send them http://www.postpals.co.uk/mailstats.php

    Hello, Post Pal Samantha's family have had very bad news this week, the doctors say there is nothing more than can do other than pain relief for her, the cancer is already everywhere despite chemo. She is only 5.
    She loves getting post as does her brother Lewis, so if you have a minute please send something their way to make them smile, needless to say its a very difficult time for them all.
    Her details are on her page here http://www.postpals.co.uk/pals/Samantha+H
    Samantha star's on one of our animated banners and has inspired so many,

  • This is a lovely idea and takes 5 minutes to do and maybe another couple of minutes to send an email to everyone you know, so that they can do the same. Hopefully most of us have our health and strength and reading about these kids puts things into perspective. You could be the richest person in the world and still not have good health! Most of our problems are self induced (me included) - these children had no choice. Please, even if you just send an email, I guarantee you will feel better today.
