So brave!

15-year-old Alice Pyne of Ulverston, England was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma almost four years, and although it doesn't look like she has much longer, she's remaining very positive, and has become a top Twitter trend all over the world.

Alice has written a bucket list of things she'd like to do before she dies, and through the hashtag #alicebucketlist, she's gained the support of thousands of people, and many celebrities including Johnny Depp, Ryan Seacrest, Jimmy Fallon, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber.

Her bucket list items include "to get a massage" and "to have a private cinema party for me and my BFFs," but her #1 goal on the list is to get her supporters to sign up to become bone marrow donors.

Her top request has gone all the way to the British government, and Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to lend his support.

We are inspired with how brave Alice is, and how she's making such a positive impact while she can!

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful influence on the world, Alice! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

To know you are goingto die must be terrifying. I'd rather not know, so these people who do who show so much grace and dignity and seem to come to peace w it boggle my mind and put me in awe, especially a 15 year old girl who hasn't really had a chance to live yet. God bless her and her family and friends. I pray that she is healed, even if she thinks she won't be. Such a brave amazing young girl.

yeah, i don't really care. what makes her so different then the other kids/adults going thru a terminal cancer too. you don't see all of them trying to get pitty sympathy from famous people and regular people. lol she's just kissing up and wants people to feel sorry for her. like i said what makes her so special from the other kids going thru the same thing? you don't see them wanting sympathy like this chick. so, yeah. i couldn't care less about this chick and i really don't care what happens to her. im not jumping on the sympathy bandwagon. it's pretty cheesy you know. lol

Re: white_is_ugly – You are horrible. How dare you judge what a terminal patient has done without reading the story. She had nothing to do with her list going viral. Instead - what she HAS done, knowing that she has a large audience - she has raised GLOBAL awareness of the need for more bone marrow donors. I hope you never need a donation in your lifetime - but if you do - I hope that you remember this brave, courageous and infinitely more beautiful person than you - helped.

Re: white_is_ugly – You really are a sack of s***. Your user name speaks volumes about you also. Guess what….. I dont give a toss about you and nor will any other human being. She is trying to help other people despite her own problems and all you can do is just dismiss her ? Heartless wanker !!!

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington Committed Suicide In Almost Exactly The Same Way As Friend Chris Cornell

** WARNING: Upsetting and/or triggering details (below)**

This is just horribly tragic.

As you've likely heard, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington was discovered dead on Thursday after killing himself via hanging. The Numb singer's suicide was made even more heartbreaking upon the realization that he took his own life on what would've been his close friend Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday.

In case you forgot, the grunge rock god also committed suicide via hanging as he was discovered back in May. Oh man.

And it appears as though the parallels between the two deaths are so uncanny, that it's believed Chester mimicked the Soundgarden rocker's suicide. According to
