A terminally ill teenager has spoken publically for the first time after her online "bucket list" of wishes became an internet sensation.
Alice Pyne, 15, created the blog called Alice's Bucket List in which she described how she has been fighting cancer for the last four years.
Alice started the blog earlier this month, telling how hospital scans showed Hodgkin's lymphoma - a cancer of the white blood cells - was spreading through her body and that her mother had encouraged her to create a wish list.
Her appeal led to a flood of offers as her webpage became an internet hit with Twitter followers, as it became one of the most talked about subjects worldwide.
Alice told ITV1's Granada Reports: "I wrote it just to go out to my friends and obviously they have sent it on. It was never meant to be this big and it's huge now and it's amazing, the kind people who are offering things, it's really kind, it's amazing."
I think it is wonderful that Alice’s blog got so much attention worldwide. She is fighting this horrible disease and any help she can get is another comfort. Celebrities from all over the world tweeted about this girl on Twitter and they all feel for her. She is the world’s sweetheart. Everyone feels for her and she is displayed as a strong and independent girl. There should be a chance like this for any child who goes through fighting a horrible disease. This is not realistic, but the fact that Alice got so much help, gives other children hope of getting the same help.

I could totally see this becoming a thing for terminal ill patients. It might be a good way for them to vent and share their experiences and struggles. Helping each other out and making the world aware of the disease they have.
