Hello :)

Hello :)
It's a bit funny me doing a blog because mum has always done these sort of things and I've never really being interested before. 
Most of you know that my scan at Alder Hey wasn't very good and that the cancer is now spreading through my body. It's a pain because there's so much stuff that I still want to do. I guess that my particular cancer is made of strong stuff (which is hard because I know I gave it my all and I'm strong and determined too).
Anyway, mum always tells me that life is what we make of it and so I'm going to make the best of what I have and because there were so many things I still wanted to do, mum suggested that I turn my ideas into a bucket list.  I've not quite finished it yet, as I keep remembering other bits, so I might add things to is as I go along. 
I'm not expecting to do everything on it.  Some of the things are just not going to happen because I can't even leave the country now (I'm too much of a risk), but they're on there, because they were on my 'to do' list at some point.  So, I thought it would be fun to have my list online and to tick things off and do a little update on everything I do :)  If anyone has suggestions, please let mum or dad know because they don't know how to do all of it yet.  They're working on it!


There was a break there because I can't figure out how to add a list.  I think I'm going to have to ask mum to do it because she can do anything.  I'll press the post button and then I'll try and post the list through the day.

    Hi Alice

    I seem to be technically challenged too as I have tried to 'follow' you and it doesnt want to play. I will get Andrew to sort it out at home.

    Anyway, I wanted to volunteer to help with your bucket list in any way I can. I don't know many useful people myself but I know people who know useful people, if you know what I mean. So let's see what we can do.

    Renee is right - you are a great writer - something I think you get from your mum. You have also got her strength and beautiful personality. You Pynes are a tough bunch and it's one of the great honors of my life that I know you all.

    Lots of love

    Take good care

  34. Hi Alice! Found this via Twitter, like lots of other people it seems. Lots of v good things to do on your list! You seem like a great girl. Wondered if there was any restrictions in terms of area - where you'd be willing to travel to etc? Within the limits of the UK, I mean :)

    Really great idea x x

    P.S. Maybe your parents could set up some kind of donation page for one of the things on the list so for those who don't know people who could help, they could donate a little instead, so maybe everyone could chip in to get, say, the chocolate room at Alton Towers? x

    ReplyDelete
  35. Would love to help make some of your dreams come true. I particularly like the back massage (big fan & thoroughly recommended) & staying in a caravan (not a big fan & I wonder why). Please let me know if I can help you do either of these.

  37. youre a courageous girl- i know you cannot travel to Kenya- but if something changes and you can- please get in touch w me - i grew up there, and have childhood friends who are in the tourism business and *may be gracious and kind enough to help.

  40. Hello Alice

    Your mum is right: you are amazing - and it sounds as if you have a wonderful family. I found the link to your blog on Twitter and I've done a tweet about you too.

    Am old enough to be your granny and I've recently had cancer too but am lucky enough to be getting better. The much nicer thing we have in common is Labradors (I have two) and your Mabel is a very gorgeous girl.

    Will help with tweets to see what we can tick on that bucket list of yours.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm sorry I can't help directly but, like a lot of other people, I'm spreading this link around Twitter & I'm sure we can get most of the treats on your list sorted - plus a few more besides!

    Where are you based? And how would you like all the various hairdressers / photographers / dolphins with email accounts to contact you?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi Alice
    I've posted your bucket list on Twitter so it should be flying around the world by now.
    Lets hope it all gets ticked off quickly so you can make another one:-)
    I'm a beauty therapist and I'd love to send you some nice girlie products. If you email me an address to send them to I get them sent ASAP.
    chin up and keep strong.
    Cute dog too

  45. Dear Alice - this blog is such a wonderful idea. Keep at it, and keep fighting. Your bravery is inspiring and humbling.

    I do have a niece who is qualified in Thai massage, which is wonderful for the back. We live in Scotland, but perhaps I could send her to you on the train. Come to my blog at taniakindersley@blogspot.com if you are interested.

    I wish you all the luck in the world.

  47. Hello Alice
    I also have terminal cancer, but I'm 40 now. When I was first diagnosed I went on a long weekend to Centre Parcs with my children, sister and her two children to give me a break from chemo. They arranged and paid for everything at The Willow Foundation. They arrange special days for people under 40 like us. I think they could help you with Take That or one of your bigger wishes - my friend went on the Hollyoaks set when she was having her chemo.
    http://www.willowfoundation.org.uk/SpecialDays is the link. I had massages/facials but needed a letter from my oncologist to say it was OK, some places won't do massage if you have cancer!

    Keep doing what you're doing chicken, lets both stay happy with what we have as long as we can.

    I saw a link to your blog on Facebook and tweeted the link on Twitter. I know it's been retweeted a gazillion times so hope you're well on the way to ticking off a lot of items on your list.

    Stay strong, stay positive and let me know if there's anything I can add to the list. I write teen books so would be happy to ask my publishers to send you some stuff to read for when you're not busy with all the great things people are setting up for you.

    I see that you have two offers of photoshoots. I too am a photographer and I would love to do a photoshoot with you and Mabel and your friends or just you and your friends or just you and Mabel.

    I will be up in your neck of the woods between 15th and 18th June if you have any free time then for a shoot I would love to come over to you to do it.

    Love your determination, you go girl!
    I'd be pleased to offer you a photoshoot, my website is www.fwphotography.co.uk. I shoot a lot of brides so know how to make a girl look fab. But most importantly, I'm a story teller so would hope to photograph your friendships in a meaningful way. Memories are so important aren't they! I also do photofilms so it might be fun to add a bit of that in too! Let me know if I can tick sth of your bucket list for you, I'm up in the lakes in a few weeks to do a photoshoot for a singer/songwriter artist. fjonahill@gmail.com

  63. Alice - Brave, inspirational Alice. Hang in there while we use our most creative imaginations to help tick off your bucket list.

  65. Alice, you're obviously a very strong person and I'm full of admiration for you. I run a vintage caravan hire company so I can fulfil one of your wishes, maybe two as my caravans are often part of photo shoots and I'm sure I can arrange one of those for you too. Email me at info@hazydayscaravanhire.co.uk and we can arrange a stay for you in one of our caravans. That's all I can do, wish I could do lots more. Zoe

  66. What an inspirational young lady you are. I would happily travel a long way to have the honour of fulfilling one of your photo shoots, or even doing one not on your list.

  77. Hi Alice

    I posted a link to your blog on Twitter and lots of people have contacted me thinking I can pass on all their kind offers! Maybe you could set up an email address but write here safely, without the @ and the .com, so spambots can't find it, for example: "bucket_list at gmail dot com". You've gone viral on the internet so I think a lot of your wishes will come true! :-) xx

    ReplyDelete
  78. Hi Alice,
    I don't know you but I came across your list through Twitter and I noticed that one thing on your list was to have a private cinema party with your friends. Well I don't know if you have sorted that one out yet but if you haven't and there is a Cineworld cinema near you get in tough with them! As my drama school holds private showings of the films we make at Cineworld and I'm sure they would be more than happy to arrange something for you :)
    Good luck hun <3 Hope you achieve everything you want to :) Your an inspiration Love and best wishes xxxx

  79. Alice, you are amazing, staying as positive as you are. That's real strength, a true 'Wonder Girl' ;)

    Myself & some of my friend on twitter are thinking of ways we can help you tick off some of the things on list. Not sure if we can make it work, but are going to try honey :)

    Just a thought, your mum probably has already looked into it, but incase have you looked at: http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/

    You keep smiling & all of us will try & get working on that bucket list for you x x x x

  80. Hey Alice

    I think you should set up & publish an email address where people who want to help you can get in touch - that way you can filter the great offers from the unmissable ones!

    Also, I think you're going to need a longer list...

  93. Dear Alice
    What a superly fabulous girl you are. The only thing I can help with on your Bucket List is to sign up to be a bone marrow donor, and I will do that as soon as I sign off here. I send you tons of love and energy, and hope that many people see this and help you to achieve your wishes.
    Lots of love

  94. Hey Alice, I came across your blog on twitter & have tweeted @takethat to see if they'll meet you. Also http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/wishes/how-do-i-refer-a-child/ is for a charity that helps make your wishes come true. I have looked into being a bone marrow donor but because of my Fibromyalgia I'm not allowed. I see you have lots of offers for your photography, so hopefully before long you'll have done most of the list! Good luck, xx

  95. Hi Alice, try contacting Blue Planet Aquarium, I'm sure they'll help you swim with sharks. They're on Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Blue-Planet-Aquarium/90827708340

    or on their own website: http://www.blueplanetaquarium.co.uk/

  96. make a wish foundation, starlight foundation and willow tree foundation all help make 'dreams' come true. Also there is a place in Bournemouth I think you would enjoy that is for cancer patients. It is an amazing place, I have been myself and stayed there and it comes highly recommended. They may even know people who can make your list reality. They are the Youth Cancer Trust.

  113. Dearest Alice,
    Your story is inspiring and you teach all of us with your wisdom that is well beyond your years. You are so beautiful inside and out. I pray that you will cross off everything on you bucket list in one way or another. Remember, there is always a way to do everything, even if at first look it seems impossible. So you say you can't go to kenya? Try google earth and look at all the pictures and the street views. Google earth is easily downloaded and a great way to see the world when you can't travel there. :) Also, check out any documentaries you can find about it. I am there in spirit with you. Don't think of your life as ending, think of it as finishing a chapter and beginning another. Make this chapter one to remember because you are unforgettable.
    With all my love,
    a friend

  116. Looks like you're well on your way to having a fair few of your list ticked off :) As you can't travel to Ireland, is there anything we could perhaps post you from here that could perhaps fulfill a wish? I see you love chocolates- perhaps you'd like a box of the unusual, handmade in Ireland, flavors from artisan chocolate maker The Truffle Fairy. Have a look at their list at http://www.trufflefairy.com/products.html & you can email me at hello@vibrantireland.com and let me know what flavors you'd like & I can go arrange to have a box posted to you. Anything else we could try & do for you from here, let me know! Enjoy your back massage & all the other lovely experiences! Best wishes for you & your family, Susan

  121. Hi Alice,

    You are truly an inspiration and it is incredible to see that someone who is young and faced with such challenges ahead is still so positive. You really are a fabulous girl and you deserve everything on your bucket list!

    Now, to try and help with your list so far! I have previously worked for Walt Disney World in Florida, and have a lot of friends there so if you want anything from Disney World itself sent over, or Universal Studios, Seaworld etc then let me know and can have them sent to you if you cannot get there yourself! I am also a volunteer for Make-A-Wish so am looking into information there also! My email is the_sane_lunatic@hotmail.com if you want to get in contact!

    You're amazing and you're going to get everything on your bucket list, so keep adding to it to make your dreams come true! xx

  184. Found this blog off of a twitter feed. Don't know how I can help with your list as I am in Canada.. But I am going to give blood and add myself to the bone marrow list :)

    Thanks for being amazing. It may nor mean anything, but reading your blog has enriched my life.

  185. Hello, I've got a bucket list too (it's not as good as yours though!). I know what it's like to go through the chemo, tests, treatments and all the bother.

    Whenever I started to lose heart I would listen to 'On A Mission' by Gabriella Cilmi - download it and shout out the words!

    Like you, I have a labrador and I LOVE Take That. I went to see them on Saturday and took some photos which I would love to send to you if you like (as long as you say your favourite is Mark!) It was hilarious when Mark and Howard got stuck on the OM robot.

    Anyway - I wish you love, strength, and above all a sense of humour.

  187. Good luck Alice, lovely lovely replies from people here and Mabel has to be the most beautiful Labrador ever, undoubtedly a winner!

    Can you travel to Aspinalls Zoo in Kent? The nearest thing to Kenya I can think of.

  188. Hi Alice, Wow you are quite amazing! I don't know if I can help you to do anything on your list but I will try. I have forwarded your details to my brother in law who may be able to help with the alton towers trip.
    I am truly inspired and will become a donor, that is a promise.

  189. Alice I would just like to say that you are an incredible lady and to say your an inspiration would be somewhat of an understatement. I feel honored to say that I have fulfilled one of the wishes on your bucket list and I am in fact a bone marrow donor through the Anthony Nolan foundation. My heart and thoughts will be with you always. Much love,
    Tom

  196. Hi Alice - Philip Schofield pointed me in the direction of your blog. Looking through your bucket list, I want to help. If you'll let me, I'll organise for you to have that massage! (Had my first one last year, it's bliss!) Are you able to get to the Natural Health Centre? It's near Soutergate? (Looking at Google maps here, I'm nowhere near Cumbria!) Let me know, I'd love to be able to help you tick this one small thing off your list. :) x x
