"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

"What can I say about Post Pals well Amy is delighted to know there are people out there that care enough to send a child they dont even know a card or letter or stickers and presents.She always looks on the mat every morning to see if she has any post and loves opening her mail.At christmas she is overjoyed to receive a box from her christmas postie pal and makes sure she sends an email and picture to them so they know its arrived and its nice to send someone something back after they have cared so much to go out and shop for small things for her for christmas. The boys also love receiving cards and things in the post and it dosent make them feel left out either.And it puts back some faith into us that people do really care not just the staff at her hopsital and family but people out in the world do actually read what the kids put on Post Pals and take time out to read about the illness they have and go out and get cards or sit and write to a child they dont even know some people do really care out there"- Louise, Mum to Amy P, aged 9 Diamond Blackfan Anemia

"It is a very wonderful thing that people who do not know you, have never spoken to you, can take the time and trouble to make a difference to your life in such a special and significant way. It is not just about receiving a card, so many other things are within it- compassion,warmth,friendship,support and love and we can never truly explain how that helps", Kelly Mum to Chloe G, 7 ALL

"Jamie has been spoiled throughout his treatment, with gifts from friends and family. When the Post Pals mail started to come through, I was worried that he wouldn't notice it much, as it was mostly cards. I was surprised that Jamie enjoyed his cards, postcards and letters. He was most thrilled with a valentine's card from someone!!!! I was most touched by a card from a boy in Afghanistan, which was homemade, and simple. On the front was a world, with children holding hands, and it said "Peace" on it."-Kelly, Mum to Jamie, 14/4/2000 - 31/7/2005, Neuroblastoma
