Brave girl, 15, pens ‘bucket list’ of things she wants to do before she dies of cancer
June 10, 2011 | by admin
An inspirational teenage girl has created a ‘bucket list’ after being told that she has terminal cancer. Alice Pyne, 15, suffers Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and has created a website to update followers about her progress. The teenager, who lives with younger sister Milly and parents Vicky and Simon, has a list of wishes which range from meeting Take That to staying in a caravan. Her family are working towards helping her achieve all her goals before cancer claims her life. The courageous youngster speaks frankly about her illness on her blog www.alicepyne.blogspot.com and has over 1,000 followers, including This Morning presenter Philip Schofield. Alice was diagnosed with cancer just over three years ago and has undergone extensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. She also received a stem cell transplant where her own treated cells were used, but treatment was not effective. Last year more than 1,000 people signed up to see if they could donate bone marrow to Alice, along with help from the Anthony Nolan Trust, but in October a scan showed there were no more curative treatment options. Brave Alice – who lists her occupation as a ‘full-time cancer fighter’ says on her blog: ‘I’m 15 and I have terminal cancer. I’ve created a bucket list because there are so many things I still want to do in my life … some are possible, some will remain a dream.
