    Maybe she could post a link to a bone marrow charity, or cancer research donation page instead then? People will feel they've done something worthwhile, and the money will go to a cause she cares deeply about.

  • I've sent an email to Blue planet aquarium to see if they can help with swimming with sharks as they do shark dives, ( which i would also LOVE to do!) and i believe they are only a couple of hours from alice.
    What a truly brave and amazing young lady she is. An inspiration to us all xxx

    I've emailed the Emma Bridgewater shop in London with the link to her blog and email, hopefully they can pass it to someone who can get the wheels in motion.

    Thanks, they actually spoke last night and have given the go ahead for Alice to design her own mug. I for one will be buying it.

    I think Cadbury World have probably been inundated with requests to do something for Alice. I received an email back from them (with quite a few other people on the same email) confirming that they were trying to contact Alice's family to set something up.

    Ok, I have sent emails to Polydor (Take That's record label), Cadbury World, Alton Towers and Emma Bridgewater.

    I'm sure they've already had lots of emails but I thought the more people that email them the more chance Alice has of getting items on her bucket list ticked off.

    Just looked at being a doner and I think I may already be as I'm a blood doner. If not, the next time I give blood I will double check and if not I will ask them to register me for bone marrow too.

    Oh, and I've spread the word on my Facebook page.

    You'll need to ask for a bone marrow form next time you give blood.

    What a brave girl
    I can't help really but have decided to definitely donate blood
    I shall also make a card, I have some photos of safaris (kenya), whales and have dived with sharks, I could put together a little mini scrap book if that's any good? (I would need a couple of weeks to sort that out though)
