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!

(Some of this information and some of the pictures are credited to Post Pals and other websites.)

ILLNESS PROFILE: Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)

Chronic Renal Failure is a condition where the kidneys don't work as well as they should. It is a fairly common problem in its milder forms in the elderly, but Max (pictured) is only 2 and has a severe form of the disease, which is rare. Treatment is usually through dialysis or a kidney transplant. 

The only current Pal who suffers from CRF is Max P (2) (pictured): Max is currently on the donor list for a new kidney, and is having a lot of meds and injections.
