Dying teen shares her bucket list

Here's a blog worth following, the diary of a 15-year-old named Alice who is dying of cancer, and knows it. She shares her "bucket list" (things to do before you're gone), including swimming with sharks, entering her dog in a regional Labrador contest, going to Kenya (she concedes she's too ill to travel), and most significantly, making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor:

I'm excited about the things I am going to be doing, but the biggest thing has to be all the people who are joining bone marrow donation schemes because of me.  I read on someones post that it is really painful.  Well, mostly bone marrow is taken as cells via a needle and I have had it done.  I was 13 when I had my first transplant and because they used my own cells, I had to have them taken out (they call it harvested) and then stored and put back in some months later after more chemo.  I'm not just saying this, but it really didn't hurt at all.  I had a tiny bruise from the needles and that was about it.  I was a bit tired too but I'm always tired so that may not have been the cells.

So, I was never begging and I don't need any money but I do love to get your messages and I hope you'll follow my blog and keep leaving me a message.  I will take a camera with me wherever I go and I'll post photos of everything I do.  In return, you can keep asking everyone you bump into to join the bone marrow donation schemes in your country.
