About Me

Hello, welcome to my page - you can tell I was in a rush when signing up as I've managed to miss spell the name! I only joined as there was a few things I wanted to read but now where would my life be without tons of bulletins to wade through?
Anyways I'm now 23 and from Surrey, last year my profile explained that I had spent 5 years bedbound, unable to sit up, walk etc but that I was doing a lot better and able to go out from time to time, how ever I've since relapsed and back to being in bed all the time.
I spend most of my time running Post Pals to help seriously ill children, an organisation some friends and I set up. It takes up most of my time and energy and makes my room look like a mixture between a toy shop and mailroom with more cards than Clintons, but its really rewarding. I also go through periods when I raise awareness of ME in the media. When I'm not doing Post Pal things I'm normally found awake at strange hours, on the phone to my friend Kat and watching trashy TV things- Did I just confess that?
Please check out

You just log on and send a card or email, it only takes 5 minutes to really make a difference to a child with cancer or other devastating illnesses. Post Pals also has its own Myspace page run by one of the featured children's Mum, please add it to your friends list.
