Welcome to my blog!

Hi! I'm Dannii C, and I created this blog to try and gain interest for the amazing charity postpals.co.uk, where you can send emails, letters, cards and gifts to seriously ill children throughout the UK. Each month I will feature two different children from the website on my blog, post any updates for the kids on the site, do a monthly update, post any news generally from the site, post info about the charity itself and a little bit about every kid on the site, and basically do all I can to get more people to know about this amazing charity!

August: Featured Pals



Each month, I feature two Pals on my blog who could really use some cheering up this month. They might be stuck in hospital, recovering from major surgery or bored out of their mind in isolation, and they could really use some post to make them smile.

This month's kids are Jon Paul O and Jazmine L.

This is Jaz L. She is 9 and adores Hello Kitty and High School Musical. She has a little sister, Jessenia (4).

Jazmine was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, in her femur when she was only 6 years old. It was discovered that the cancer had spread to her lungs and her family had to face the possibility that her cancer was terminal.

Thankfully, Jaz pulled through, and the tumours on her lungs disappeared. In November '09, she was declared cancer-free, and her family were elated. Sadly, on the 8th July this year it was discovered that Jaz's cancer has returned and is terminal.

She has compiled a list of all the things she wants to do before she 'gains her angel wings'. Please send her some lovely post to cheer her up.
