Alice’s Bucket List

I just came across this blog today via my flatmate and @neilhimself (Neil Gaiman) on Twitter. Click on the picture to access the blog (I can’t embed it here due to WordPress restrictions).

If you have any ideas how to help Alice achieve any of the things on her bucket list, you could contact her and let her know.
