"I think postpals is great. I'm blind so not many people send me post. When I get home from boarding school on Fridays I love getting my postpals mail and presents, its the best thing about the weekend. My mum reads everything to me and I've made lots of new friends all over England."- Stephanie W, aged 15, Juvenile Battern Disease

"I would like to thank you for doing such a great think by running this amazing website that really makes sick children smile. My daughter Jessie really loves her post and can't wait for a postman every morning. When he knocks on the door she runs to meet him. She loves getting the cards and presents too. Thank you so much again"- Stana, Mum to Jessica M, aged 5, Ganglioneuroblastoma

"When James was first diagnosed, he was really miserable because of his treatment and subsequently due to some abscesses he developed. One thing that really perked him up was the attention of the Post Pals girls. Apart from the fact that he received cards and gifts, the messages that they wrote gave him the strength to keep himself together. Often the cards were handmade and he was delighted with the effort people had gone to just because he was ill. 2 and half years on, James is still getting cards and his twin sister is good friends with a lot of the girls who sent them. Such a simple idea has paid dividends in contributing to James' recovery. It is said that people who are prayed for stand more chance of recovery, but I believe that those who are supported by people such as the Post Pals team have their chances multiplied 10-fold."- Jon, Dad to James R, aged 12, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

"We would like to thank Post Pals for all the support and that the Posty means a lot to Matthew and we will never forget the trip to RAF St Mawgan organised by Post Pals. When your child is ill and your feeling low, its reassuring to know that there are people who are thinking of you"- Jackie and Andrew, parents to Matty W, aged 9, Acute Myloid Leukaemia
