Jack Bradley B has recently come out of hospital after a 5 week stay. He will shortly be going back in for a bone marrow transplant. In between tests, there is a small window where we would like to be able to get him to Legoland, so please take a look at our ebay item and consider bidding. Please also send it to friends, family, post on message boards/blogs etc!

Item is here

A large flock of Chemoducks have just flown in thanks to the generosity of Nathan V's family and friends.

Nathan liked his Chemoduck that Post Pals sent him so much that when he passed away his family set about raising some funds to purchase some ducks for Alderhey. They raised so much they were able to provide some to Alderhey, Pendulbury and local hospitals, as well as donating 29 to Post Pals. We have already sent 3 out today to Jack Bradley B, Jack Peter B and Daniel M and we are sure they will be much appricated. Nathan's mum, Mandy, also mentioned us on a radio interview with CityTalk radio. A very big thank you to everyone who contributed to the ducks.

Talking of contribtuions - a very big thank you to Vicki, Hayley, Emma and Colette for their donations in memory of Samantha. We will certainly put them to good use and create lots of smilies in honour of Samantha.

We are trying to do some fundraising at the moment as we are currently a non profit organisation and to register as a charity we need to have an annual income of £5000. If you would like to fund raise for us in any way please drop us a line and we will gladly do what ever we can to help :) The money will be used to purchase cards and special gifts for the children featured.

Talking of fundraising, if you like the cool side of a pillow and get too hot in bed, then Chillow is the answer for you. It's a special gel pad you put in your pillow and it keeps you cool (but not cold), it doesn't even need refrigerating. If you purchase one from their website http://www.chillow.co.uk/ and select "Post Pals" from the drop down menu asking where you heard about them, they will donate 10% to us!

I will sign off with a picture of Jordan H and a quilt he was sent.

Hello, a volunteer recently asked if we have a database of the childrens details so she could try and work her way through writing to them all. We have one with their name, DOB, fowarding address, interests and it can be found by joining our egroup here http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/postpals/ then clicking "Database". We hope it's helpful to you :)

Samantha's Dad sent us a lovely email and gave me permission to share. If you would like to make a donation in Samantha's memory, you can either send a donation via Paypal through the link on our home page www.postpals.co.uk or by sending a cheque made out to "Post Pals" and sent to Post Pals, PO Box 278, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23 4WN. Please make a note on them that it is in Samantha's memory so I can tell her parents.


Thanks so much for your lovely e-mail and kind words of support.

I am getting e-mails from all over the world on how much Samantha has inspired them, and it is becoming increasingly clear that my little princess has touched and inspired so many people in every corner of the world in her short life than most of us could ever hope to achieve.

I feel so lucky to have had her in our lives and have learned so much from her, the world seems a much darker place without her.

I have asked my work and several people to donate to Post Pals rather than send flowers to Sam’s funeral. The last two years have been very difficult but both Samantha and Louis always managed a smile when they saw the Postman bring something for them. I want you to know I will never forget what you have done for my children and showed me just how many wonderful people there are out there.

Please stay in touch

Neil (Daddy)

We are very sad to say that Samantha H passed away on the 15/04/2008.

She loved receiving post and probably received more than any other Pal. One day she was crying during chemo and nothing would stop her crying. They gave her the post she had been sent and out of the card tumbled some confetti stars. Instantly, she stopped crying and spent the next 20 minutes making pretty patterns.

She inspired many around the world and will be missed by so many people.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send some post to Samantha. Sympathy cards can be sent to the address on her page and please keep sending cheerful post to her brother Louis.

"Its not how long a star shines, what's remembered is the brightness of the light"

Hello, a few people have mentioned probles with the link to the thank you from Samantha. If you couldn't view it, please click here and scroll down to the entry on the 18th of March. Sadly Samantha's cancer is spreading very rapidly and there is nothing other than pain relief that the doctors can do for her. Both Samantha and Louis love receiving post so please drop them a line if you can, it's a very difficult time for them all.

Our photo gallery has been updated with new pictures, just click here and then "Pals with Posty 2"

We recently sent to a lot of our Pals and siblings special party bags jam packed with sweets (and sugar free ones for diabetics). The money to cover these was kindly donated by JamFund who have also offered a holiday to the Post Pal families, so a very big thank you to them.

I will sign off with a picture of Milly and Alice with theirs,

We are launching 2 projects this week to make it even easier to make a sick child smile! We ran them a couple of years ago and found them a big success with both volunteers and Pals enjoying it!

Project 1) Print 1 sheet a week. Do you have time to print 1 sheet of paper a week? If so then this is for you! You will be assigned a child and once a week a word document containing a card and message will be emailed to you. All you have to do is simply hit print, fold the card, sign your name and pop it in the post to your assigned child. It's really as simple as that and it would guarantee every Pal and sibling a piece of post a week. To take part please email Lorna with your name, email address, how many children you would like to write to and if you would prefer a young or older child. Her address is lornarogers@hotmail.com

Project 2) Could you commit to sending 1 piece of post every 2 weeks? We are looking for volunteers so every Pal and sibling will have someone assigned to them. We have found both poster and child really benefit from hearing from someone regularly, especially the siblings, who often don't get as much attention as the ill child. This is a longer term commitment, although not strict, so if you miss a week it doesn't matter. To take part email Emma through her email address snowberry2@tiscali.co.uk with your name, email address and how many children you would like to be assigned to.

Please forward this onto friends and post on message boards/blogs etc as we have a lot of children these days!


NB: If you have taken part in these schemes in the past, we are starting them from afresh, so you will be re-assigned to someone.

We have a lovely Thank You from Samantha for you all to see, just click HERE

I've just finished reading Nicole D's book "The way I see it" which was published earlier this year. On the inside cover is a picture of Nicole in a pink wig which Post Pals managed to find for her. She said she would like one, so we hunted around and found the company Sparkly Strawberry who kindly provided seven - plus a pink hat which Nicole is wearing on the back cover! At the end of the book it has a paragraph about Post Pals which says;

"I joined Post Pals in 2006. It's a website for poorly children and the aim is to 'post a smile on a sick child's face'. Each 'Pal' has their own page with their details, things they like, updates and forwarding address. Anyone can write to them or sent them a gift to cheer them up when they're ill. Post Pals was set up in 2004 by five teenagers who all have health problems, with two of them being bedbound. They're all volunteers and spend a lot of time sending post to the 'Pals'. I've received letters, cards and presents from all over the world. I got a lot of post when I relapsed. I made a comment on my website that i wanted to get a pink wig, and someone sent me seven in different styles and shades of pink - one for each day of the week - and a pink cowboy hat. It really did make me smile. I was also sent 'Chemo duck', who is the coolest duck ever. He has little pyjamas on, and when you open his top he has a plaster on under it. When you take that off, he has a little plastic Hickman line in his chest. He also has a bandanna because he has lost all his feathers, bless him. Another one of my favourite things is that someone adopted a monkey for me in North Carolina. That's something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember, as monkeys are my favourite animal. Post Pals is a fantastic site, and does a great job. If you have a spare five minutes, write to a child and help make them smile!"

If you purchase Nicole's book using the link below Post Pals will receive a % of your order.



It's true what they say, sometimes it's the little things in life that are important. For Nicole this meant a pink wig, and for Chloe K this currently means earrings. She desperately wants to have her ears pierced but the doctor's won't allow it and her Mum was unable to find any clip on ones for her. Cue Post Pal volunteers to spring into action, hunting around the Internet and shops then sending magnetic ones. Chloe can now wear earrings just like her friends.

So in the words of Samantha "Thank you to everybody in the whole wide world for all their cards and presents!"

Hello, I'm just posting a short update to let people know who live near the stores "The Works" that 82 of them are closing down. They sold things like kids craft kits and little gifts cheaply anyway, but are now having closing down sales including "fill a large bag with greeting cards for a £1" so if you live near one it might be worth checking it out :)

Thank you to all of you who sent Post during February, it was nice to see the mail stats page looking busy :) Sadly 3 children have relapsed (cancer) this year alone and plenty more are in need of some TLC so please keep the smiles coming. Here is a picture of Kirsty with what arrived in the post one day.






Ps) If you have Myspace please add Post Pals as a friend, the link is http://www.myspace.com/postpals and we are also on Facebook.

Hello, there have been some changes to Post Pals this month with lots of families "Moving on", so post can be sent to those who need it the most as unfortunately most Pals didn't receive much post in January.

Moving on are Christian B and Toby B as they are off treatment and in remission. Faye T, Nicole D and Kat R as they are over 18. Hannah E as we haven't heard from her family since they joined. Hannah T, Jessica R, Karah D and Lucy P as their health is stable and Nicole B who was the first girl to join.

With Nicole leaving it now means we no longer have any of our original 5 Pals. I'm pleased to say though that James R and Simon H finished their 3 and half years of chemotherapy. Matty W has remained in remission, moved to France and as of the 1st of February is medication free. Nicole B is cancer free but she will continue to star on our leaflets. Sadly Jamie R who was the third child to join passed away, but both he and the other Pals will always very much be part of Post Pals. It wasn't easy starting up an organisation especially with our own health restrictions, but our first 5 Pals really spurred us on and inspired us to keep going.

If you used to write to one of the above Pals please consider writing to a "Current Pal" instead who is still in need of support, but THANK YOU to everyone who has supported them through the years.

A quick thank you also to Cara, Sarah, April, Katie and Fiona for making sure that all the Pals and siblings received a valentines card.

Our Mail Stats page is being fixed in the next couple of weeks but please keep entering the post you send.

To keep up to date with the goings on of Post Pals please see our egroup at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/postpals, there is also a poll on there to decide what age range we send post to siblings and we would like to know your opinion.

As we move onto another new year we thought it was time to reflect back on 2007 which has been an amazing time for Post Pals.

During the past year we have supported 105 children, making them smile day in day out no matter how hard life has been. Jack S's mum recently said "It’s a fab organisation that brightens the day of a child who can’t understand why life’s not great some days. Jack knows that whatever treatment or procedure he has to have he will always have Posty to look forward to!"

When Jack B relapsed and his cancer was rapidly spreading around his body his Mum updated us to say; "Despite everything his moment of happiness has not been deprived to him... that moment being when ‘the postman’ arrives. More than ever we now appreciate the cards that are still arriving. In an effort to keep that sought after smile, we have taken to ‘drip feeding’ him the cards. A few in the morning after breakfast, a few more at lunchtime and few more in the afternoon... It is the little things in life that give the most pleasure. Those cards mean much more to us than most could realise. They keep us – his parents – alive too".

The success of Post Pals rests on one thing, people like yourselves logging on and sending a card, letter, small gift, donation, email etc. Those kind words you have sent have brought comfort, built self confidence, given hope, broken through isolation and most of all created very large grins.

So onto the Thank you's;

Kate for keeping the Pals pages up to date and doing our feedback forms, Richard for being our Webguru and fixing anything that goes wrong with the site, creating new pages as well as hosting Post Pals for free, Sandra Dave and Carol M for their beautiful handmade cards as well as members of Do Crafts, Collette who has taken on a big job of creating packs for groups and doing sessions with Guides about Post Pals, Nicky Walker and Kathryn Dickinson who have helped with a vartiey of jobs.

To Pals Chloe G and Laura H who spend so many hours making cards, writing letters and sending emails to other Pals to make their day and never forgetting a birthday - Laura even donated her pocket money to buy stamps.

I know there are so many people I've missed out of this update and I'm sorry about that, but we appreciate every single thing that people have done for Post Pals during 2007. You have all helped bring sunshine during dark days.

We hope that everyone has a happy 2008 and once again, THANK YOU!

I heard a little Christmas
in the laughter of a child
I saw a little Christmas
in a snowman's jolly smile,
I felt a little Christmas
when I have a gift away...
Just little things...
An yet they filled my heart
with joy today...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hello, today the postman knocked on the door with 7 large parcels which had been sent to the POBOX address. Some have children's names on, other's don't. Unless items are being donated to Post Pals please ONLY send post to the forwarding address on the child's page.

If you have sent a parcel here please could you email me (viks@postpals.co.uk) to let me know what it looked like so we don't have to open them all up and repackage (we have already done over 100 of our own parcels!) and which child it was for.

In the mean time I'm going to email some courier companies to see if they can help, as we can't afford to forward them (postage is over £40)

Thank you, Viks

This is a short entry to update you on our Christmas schemes and to share something one of our Pals parents has said.

Firstly thank you to everyone who has volunteered to be an Elf or Reindeer (see previous entry for details), we now have enough Reindeers but are on the look out for more Elves. Also, please ask your friends and family when they are doing their Christmas cards if they could spare a couple of minutes and do one or two more for a Post Pal child, it's amazing the difference it can make, which this message shows.

Jack B is having a very difficult time which sadly won't get any easier and his Mum sent us this message "Despite everything his moment of happiness has not been deprived to him… that moment being when ‘the postman’ arrives. More than ever we now appreciate the cards that are still arriving. In an effort to keep that sought after smile, we have taken to ‘drip feeding’ him the cards. A few in the morning after breakfast, a few more at lunchtime and few more in the afternoon... It is the little things in life that give the most pleasure. Those cards mean much more to us than most could realise. They keep us – his parents – alive too. While Jack was having his MIGB treatment he got cards AND more cards and AND more cards - it was great fun reading out the messages and working out how best arrange their display. Thank you to everyone who sent them in – I wish there were words to describe how much they are appreciated. The broke the boredom, the monotony, and towards the end of the week when Jack became sickly and lethargic, wanting only to lie in bed, his one bright moment was the arrival of ‘the postman’. I hope it is suffice to say that each card he received will provide us with a very precious memory, we intend to keep every single one".

Look out for an update soon with details of Stephanie W's exciting "Extra Smiles" or should that be "X factor Smiles" taking place this week...

Hello, we are running our Christmas schemes again this year with the option for people to be Elves and Reindeer.

An Elf is someone who is assigned a child who they gather gifts up to the value of £15 for and sends them off in early December.

A Reindeer is someone who is assigned a young child and sends 9 cards during the month of December, one from each reindeer talking from the reindeers perspective ie talking about the sleigh getting full, getting ready for the big night etc.

In the past both schemes have proven very popular - one girl believed that the reindeer wrote to her because she helped her mum look after her disabled brother, and a little boy was reassured as the reindeer had written to him at the hospital which meant Santa knew that he was there so wouldn't get missed out. T

The Elf scheme always brings about huge smiles, Nikita loved her Elf parcel which she recieved a couple of weeks before she passed away last year.

If you would like to be an Elf or Reindeer (or both) then please drop us a line on info@postpals.co.uk stating your name, email address and how many children you would like to be an elf or reindeer for and also please let us know if you are happy to do an elf box for teenage boys as volunteers for this age group is hard to find.

It would also been a great help if you could forward this onto your address book please, post on blogs and message boards as we have 105 Elves to find!

We will start off with Post Pal's big news, Fearne Cotton has been very supportive of Post Pals since finding out about us at last years National Lottery Good Causes Awards, and has kindly agreed to be our patron. She is well known for presenting a large range of television and radio shows as well as presenting BBC1's Children in Need. We are very honoured to have her support, you can read a quote from her on our testimonials page here.

Some lovely news came through from Harry G's mum. when Harry joined in May 2004 his seizures were severe enough that he was unable to even recognise his own family and wasn't expected to improve. Over the past 3 years he has made tremendous progress, at school they sing a registration song and recently for the first time ever Harry said "Here I am", his Mum now hope's with some help he will start speaking. There are many times we receive sad news about how our Pals are doing, so news like Harry's is a real tonic to us all.


We are took part in the "Great British Duck Race", a world record breaking, yes you've guessed it Duck Race. 170,000 rubber ducks each sponsored were released into the River Thames on the 2nd of September, thank you to those who sponsored a duck in aid of Post Pals, we raised just over £100.

Thank you to Jan and the staff at Charland Electronics Ltd for raising £30 by doing a draw for some bottles of drink, Jan also raised £7 earlier in the year by selling unwanted plant pots. £7 may not seem like a lot but it created 26 smiles.

Thank you also to all those who logged on after reading about us in Take a Break magazine (23rd of August), we were amazed at the positive response.

Shortly we will be launching our Christmas schemes, so check back on this page soon for details. We are also hoping to collect 40 cards with butterflies on for a mini project we are doing, if you can help by making some please let us know (details on the contact us page)

We will close with a photograph of our Pal Lewis with a soft comforter the Post Pal team sent him, and an email his Mum Samantha wrote.

"We came across Post Pals just before Christmas 2006 when we learned that our ill son was in fact very ill. Not long after joining Post Pals, we received a HUGE parcel of Christmas presents for both Lewis and his big brother Samuel and have continued to receive cards and letters and gifts ever since. The great thing about Post Pals is that you are not giving money to a faceless organisation. You are directly helping a particular child who you have chosen from the ever growing list of children on the website. Lewis now has lots of regular posters who write and email and we have made some great friends. It really does bring smiles and happiness to children who really need them. Particularly, knowing that you have brought a smile to the face of a little girl who 3 days later died of her condition cannot help but really touch your heart."

We are taking part in the "Great British Duck Race", a world breaking, yes you've guessed it, Duck Race. 170,000 rubber ducks are being released into the river Thames, each one sponsered for a good cause. If your duck crosses the line first you win £10,000. Ducks only cost £2 plus a small donation, so please consider sponsoring one for Post Pals and ask your family and friends to. For every £26 raised a postcard will be sent to 100 seriously ill children and their siblings. To sponsor a duck click here

Hello everyone,

Post Pals is busy as ever - alongside the post being sent by the public, we also send out lots of things. 105 parcels were posted by us in just one week in June and these were kindly funded by people donating through our PayPal button (right hand side of the screen). At the end of May, Post Pals was featured in a documentary on BBC4, lots of people took the time to log on here and send some messages to Pals and a few have offered to volunteer - so a big thank you to them.

We are giving away 2 vouchers this month, a £10 Tesco voucher (very kindly donated by them) and a £5 Mcdonalds voucher (donated by Kat) to 2 people drawn at random. To be in with a chance of receiving one of them, just send a card, letter or little gift to a Pal, and mark it on our mail stats page here. At the end of July we will contact the lucky winners. Good Luck!

This month's photograph was taken in Post Pals' early days of Nicole B after someone very kindly crossed stitched her name, as you can tell she was more than delighted with it. A lady called Susan runs an egroup (not affiliated with Post Pals) for people who like doing all manor of crafts from cross stitch to card making to knitting, they make things for the Pals and share their work and idea's with each other. If you would like to join the link is here

We are very sad to say our Pal Megan R passed away on the 24th of June 2007. She spent 6 months in Alder Hey before being able to go home in late May to enjoy as much time as possible. When she was discharged her Dad sent us this message;

We can’t thank all the people out there who were so thoughtful and kind enough to send Megs those special little (and some not so little) packages. It really cheered her up, particularly on the down days when it seemed that getting home was never going to happen.

During the month of May, Post Pals is running a campaign to raise awareness of the neurological condition ME (which the team have), raise some funds to make a difference and post lots of SMILES on people's faces.

We are baking cookies and sending them through the post with a choice of awareness ribbon or star shapes both with "ME" written in red icing on. We have an option of 2 flavours - ginger or plain. They will be wrapped in backing parchment to keep them fresh, bubble wrapped to protect and the brown paper. Included in the package will be an A4 information sheet, a great and subtle way of teaching people about ME. It even has a bear on the corner proudly wearing his blue ribbon and will say they are from you and a space for a message. Perfect to send to friends, family, yourself as a treat, a friend with ME, children on Post Pals etc.

To send 5 cookies for £3, or 10 for £4.50 including P&P, please send a donation via Paypal at info@postpals.co.uk or cheque made payable to Post Pals marked Cookie Project send to PO Box 278, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23 4WN, with the following information:

Senders Name:
Senders Email:
Senders Address:
Message (under 200 characters):
Name of recipient:
Address of recipient:
Awareness ribbon or star shape:

Depending on the sucess of the cookie project, Post Pals will consider running this project later in the year raising awareness for some of the detressing conditions that effect our Pals and their families.



Back to our Pals. Thank you to people who continue to send post be it a card, email or present. Gifts don't have to be expensive, here is a picture of "Superhero Christian" with his costume he received, it maybe a sticker, cardboard and a piece of red fabric but was enough to spark his imagination.



Promotional give always can also be sent to Pals, our resident freebie hunter Katie Plant kindly keeps an eye out online, and found these red ears for Comic Relief, here is a photograph of Milly and Lucy enjoying theirs;

I'm afraid we have to start this news entry with some sad news, Amelia P passed away on the 17th of March. She was very weak for her last two weeks, but still managed to ask her Nanny every day if any post had arrived. A volunteer described Amelia as a "bundle of sunshine", and we couldn't agree more.

On other news, Milford-on-Sea Primary school held a mufti day and part of the proceeds have kindly been donated to Post Pals. The £135 raised will be used for postage to send out lots of cards and gifts. Year 5 and 6 were also introduced to Post Pals in their ICT lesson and wrote some letters. A huge thank you to everyone at Milford-on-Sea Primary school for their support and for creating so many smiles!

On news about our Pals, we are pleased to be able to say that Jack M and Summer have finally finished their chemotherapy. Lauren K has moved on from Post Pals, and there is a change of address for Lucy P and Anna Mae C. Anna Mae recently sent us this Thank you,






We are introducing a new feature on the news page, the "story behind the photograph".

When James was let out of hospital after being diagnosed and his first part of treatment we sent him and Philippa (his sister) some cake mix. They had great fun making them - the kit only cost 99p with £1.50 postage - but the smiles are truly priceless. They can all be seen here, but the one beneath in particular acted as inspiration to the team in our early days and helped us keep going.



Until next time, keep posting :)

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Lots of post was sent to our children, and our Elf and Reindeer schemes were a big hit with Pals and siblings. They were thrilled that Father Christmas' reindeer were writing to them and of course, with the Elf scheme, what child wouldn't be over the moon with a big pile of gifts! On the subject of gifts Georgies Fund sent lots of wonderful toys to some of our families, including a giant Scalextrics kit to Mollie's family, a Robosapien V2 to Lewis and a big baby monkey to Anna Mae- it was her favourite gift this Christmas.

We hope you like all the changes that have been made to our website. We have a new way of reporting post sent which you can find here, and if you have some spare time have a browse through our gallery.

Onto some sad news;

Nikita passed away on Christmas Eve 2006. Right up until she passed away, she would text a family friend to ask if any Post Pal post had arrived - and there always was something, due to you all. Her funeral is on the 9th, she is going to be burried wrapped in her Post Pal quilt. Nikita's favourite song was S Club's "Never had a dream come true", we will always remember her when we hear that song.

Nathan V passed away on November the 24th 2006. I don't think we have ever had such a young pal grasp the concept of Post Pals so well. His mum had said how he would open his mail and "read" it out to her and Jessica "To Nathan, get well soon, love people". So thank you to all you "people" who took the time to brighten his day and remember him now he is no longer here.

Welcome to our new news page. We will soon be posting here with information on upcoming birthdays, projects and general news.

Currently our Reindeer and Elf projects are under way so Pals are receiving cards from all of Santa's reindeer, and a box of gifts from his elf. Ellie thinks that the reindeer write to her because she is good and helps look after her brother Harry which is exactly the reason why they write :)

Lots of Christmas cards are being sent, and smiles being posted on faces, this picture is of Nikita and a bear that was in her Elf box;



Our website is under going changes at the moment so keep checking back for updates and changes.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
