That's very lovely.
I have emailed Cadbury World to see whether they would be kind enough to provide 4 tickets for Alice, her sister and their parents.
Fingers crossed x0 -
Alice's bucket list is quickly spreading over Twitter, how fab! Some celebs too, really would be fantastic for her to meet Take That, it could happen!!

Am spreading the message through Twitter also. Approaching as many confirmed celebs on there as possible to see if they will help out also
February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
I've just been looking at her blog and it seems she's already got so many offers to tick things off her list.
Cadbury World have confirmed on Alice's blog that they're happy to arrange something.
They're have been so many offers from hair stylists, photographers and cinemas.
I think they shoudl set up some way to donate money. That way people could donate small amounts and it would soon add up to be able to pay for the larger wishes.0 -
I've just asked Fannyanna, hope to get a reply soon. x

She really is amazing isn't she? You could always pop a card or little letter in the post to her or her sister. If you go to www.postpals.co.uk and find Alice P (her pic is one of a few along the top at the moment). There you will see a c/o address. Anything small, just a few lines to put a smile on her face. Even just what you've done today. So long as you don't mention her illness. She wants upbeat stuff.
Thanks for this. I don't have a lot of money but im going to try an pop something small in the post for her. Puts my own illness into perspectiveKnock me down I'll get right back up again, I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man0 -

FANNYANNA...
Here is what Alice put on her blog about why there is no Just Giving page
There isn't a Paypal or Donate button on here, because I didn't mean for this to be such a big thing. It was just so that I could write on here and do the things I wanted to do and my friends could read about it them, which I'm still going to do. It's nice you're all here too but I really don't want any money giving and we've actually been offered so many wonderful experiences that I've definitely got a lot of exciting days ahead. My mum was trying to reply to everyone and it all got a bit mad and now we have a little team of friends helping us out so that we can get back to everyone.
I'm excited about the things I am going to be doing, but the biggest thing has to be all the people who are joining bone marrow donation schemes because of me. I read on someones post that it is really painful. Well, mostly bone marrow is taken as cells via a needle and I have had it done. I was 13 when I had my first transplant and because they used my own cells, I had to have them taken out (they call it harvested) and then stored and put back in some months later after more chemo. I'm not just saying this, but it really didn't hurt at all. I had a tiny bruise from the needles and that was about it. I was a bit tired too but I'm always tired so that may not have been the cells.
So, I was never begging and I don't need any money but I do love to get your messages and I hope you'll follow my blog and keep leaving me a message. I will take a camera with me wherever I go and I'll post photos of everything I do. In return, you can keep asking everyone you bump into to join the bone marrow donation schemes in your country.
