Have you heard of Alice Pyne and her amazing story? She’s the inspiring 15-year-old British girl with terminal cancer who garnered worldwide attention in June when she posted a blog called “Alice’s Bucket List” http://alicepyne.blogspot.com/. The blog contains a list of things she wishes to do (like swim with sharks!), but she also uses it as an admirable platform to encourage people to become bone marrow donors.
The outpouring of love over the Internet for Alice and her story was instantaneous and infectious. We at iLivediLoved (along with so many others) wanted to reach out to Alice and help her make the most of every day she has left. So, naturally, we sent her something she could use to write personal messages of love and preserve cherished memories with family and friends—an iLivediLoved gift certificate.
By this time, Alice had become quite famous (and no doubt overwhelmed with attention), so we were surprised and thrilled when she actually emailed us back! She asked about using the site to help leave gifts for everyone special in her life.

I was delighted to respond and share some tips on how
iLivediLoved works as a place where all her treasured photos, home movies and special letters to loved ones can be kept safe for the rest of her life, and then delivered to each person as a “keepsake gift.”
Alice Pyne’s story continues to inspire me. In fact, she was part of the inspiration for our September “virtual lemonade stand” fundraiser which is raising money for childhood cancer research and treatment. Help us honor National Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month (this month) by signing up for an iLivediLoved membership for yourself…or giving iLivediLoved as a gift. Either way, your contribution will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in an effort to prevent childhood cancer.
Please help us before the month ends—you’ll be glad you did.
Warmly,
Lilo
P.S. We hope Alice is enjoying creating keepsake messages for all her loved ones, and we hope you will, too.
