'Bucket List' Alice passes away

Alice Pyne's remarkable legacy will live on through her charity work.

Alice's Escapes was set up by Alice and her sister Milly. It is a charity run by a team of volunteers committed to providing free holidays for families with a seriously ill child.

The teenager from Ulverston worked with the Anthony Nolan Trust inspiring thousands to join the bone marrow register.

The mother of Alice Pyne - the teenager from Cumbria, who lost her fight with a cancer at the weekend has thanked the pubic for their messages of support.

Alice touched hearts far and wide with her 'bucket list' of dreams.

She was given a Pride of Britain award in October and along with her sister Milly was awarded the British Empire Medal for her charity work.

A poem has been published on Alice Pyne's Facebook page in memory of the teenager who lost her battle with cancer this weekend.

The poem, by Cheryl Murray begins:

To Alice's dear family,

I know not what to say.

But your little lady's doing fine,

she arrived up here today.
