Alice is a 15 year old girl living in Ulverston, England with terminal cancer. Her blog brought tears to my eyes and hope in my heart. Her blog, Alice's Bucket List, captures her everyday life and the process of accomplishing all her dreams. And so far she is doing quite the job of completing them! Her blog shows the importance of family, friends and the simple appreciation for life. This young teenager an inspirations to thousands, including myself.If you want to read her touching blog, visit http://alicepyne.blogspot.com/.

Alice's hope is to raise awareness and to get as many people as she possibly can to join a Bone Marrow Registry because she is forever grateful for one stranger who was willing to try to help save her life. In her blog, Alice explains that "Somewhere out there, is a young lad in his 20s who, a year ago, was told he was a match for a child in the UK. Whoever you are, thank you for been willing to save me. x"
My thoughts go out to Alice and her family. I look forward to following her exciting adventures and Bucket List accomplishments! ♥
It's nice when someone's story can change the way we feel! Awesome that the match with a 20 year old was found! I've heard it's a painful procedure and just to get on the registry costs several hundred dollars. That testing fee should be changed or a foundation set up to fund these so that thousands more can be saved. What a difference to be made!
