Sad News
Sadly, 10-year-old Alicia R passed away on the 17th of May from conditions caused by cystic fibrosis. She was friendly with Daisy, another Pal, and Daisy's mum Stephanie wrote this about Alicia:
"Alicia's courage, determination, strength and will to live was such an inspiration to everyone who knew her - she embraced life and when she was not in hospital she lived life to the full going to brownies, school, holidays with her family, bouncing on the trampoline with her brother. I know Alicia's family would want you to know how much comfort they all got from the support of Post Pals and how it made both Alicia and Nico smile."
Alicia had been on the website for a few months and was a vibrant and happy girl. We all give our condolences to her mother and little brother Nico.
RIP Alicia, you're with the angels now :(

Featured Pal: May
It's just before May so I decided to start up the Featured Pals section again. So sorry for letting it slip :(
THIS MONTH'S FEATURED PAL: ALICE P
Alice is 15 and has been a Pal for 3 years. She has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Her sister, Milly, is also a Pal. (although for some reason unexpressed in Alice's posts she has recently been completely removed from the site). She recently was told there was no more curative treatment on offer for her cancer. Nevertheless, Alice is still very much involved in raising funds for Postpals. She is an amazing Pal and really deserves some post.
She loves Lush bath products, Nintendo DS, and 'all things girly' :) She loves dogs and has a Labrador called Mabel.

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all readers of my blog, and of course to everyone at PostPals!
Now it's Easter, the whole country is filled with goodwill and happiness. Why not send a bit of that goodwill and happiness to raising some money or awareness for Postpals?
Here's a great start: Everyclick. Set up an Everyclick page for Postpals and you can raise money for them just by surfing the web! Here is my page: http://www.everyclick.com/supportpostpals
If you could contribute, that would really help :) it doesn't have to be a donation, just do a little searching!
Have a great Easter!

This is where I document the birthdays of current pals, siblings and the birthdays/death anniversaries of the pals who have gained their angel wings.
Aaron F (Cerebral Palsy): Aaron's 11th birthday is tomorrow, Sunday the 27th! Aaron is a new Pal and so why not welcome him to Postpals with a birthday card or little gift?
Jamie S (Sibling of Abbie): Abbie S (Neuroblastoma) passed away aged 5, almost 5 years ago. Jamie, her older brother, has his 11th birthday today! Happy birthday Jamie! Why not send a card or email?
Lotty B (Sibling of Hanna): It is Lotty's 3rd birthday today! She is the sister of Hanna (VACTERL Association). Why not send a little toy for Lotty?
(There might be more people but I have to come off the computer now, will update later)

I'm Back! Recap of News
I now have a laptop! So I am now going to be carrying on with my weekly posts :) I may be a little erratic though because I have exams soon, but I'll do my best.
A hell of a lot of new Pals have been welcomed to the Postpals site, I will do a full list in my next post.
SEND A CARD TO A CHILD FOR FREE! FunkyPigeon.com have a thing going on where if you sign up (free) and set 5 reminders in your account, you get a free £3-enough to buy a card or door hanger for a sick child! Better yet, there is also a 50% offer code-MARCH501. Buy a card and make a child or their sibling smile!
My postpals project is going quite well, although there appears to be a few classes that have forgotten all about it :( I am hoping to get in all my letters by Easter. There are some really great, huge class posters!
Hope you're all well, and have a great Easter!

So sorry for the long absence!
I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while- you may remember I had problems with my computer, well 2 weeks after I'd started posting again it died! Permanently! So I am painstakingly typing this out on my brother's itouch so you know I haven't abandoned the site :) As soon as I manage to replace my laptop I will begin posting regularly again.
I am still involved with postpals though- I am doing a project at my school, it is the second project at my school, I am getting all the different classes to write letters to assigned pals! I am getting an unbelievable amount of letters in! If any of you reading this are school age or teachers, you might want to do some kind of event for postpals!
