Welcome to Rosie's Posy

Rosie died from kidney tumours when she was only 7, this site is dedicated to her and aims to show how you can help the fight against Childhood Cancer, in a number of fun ways and with very little effort!

Rosie Pepper was diagnosed with Wilms tumours (a childhoood cancer of the kidneys) when she was 6 years old. Following 2 operations and treatment by both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Rosie died one week before Christmas in 1995, aged 7. Since then her friends and family have raised over £120,000 for the REACH fund in various ways,including the hugely successful Christmas Poster Scheme and all proceeds are sent to REACH in Rosie's memory Most children with cancer now survive, but for those who do not, funds are desperately needed to help further research.

    Life's Just Rosie

Flowers and birds,
Noises and words,
Life's just Rosie.

Family and friends,
Odds and ends,
Life's just Rosie.

Teddies and toys,
Girls and boys,
Life's just Rosie.

Daddy and Mummy,
Sugar and honey,
Life's just Rosie.

Films and shows,
Shops and clothes,
Life's just Rosie.

Skipping and swimming,
Losing and winning,
Life's just Rosie.

Big sisters and hugs,
Animals and bugs,
Life's just Rosie.

Hats and birthdays,
Fizzy drinks and holidays,
Life's just Rosie.

Cars and planes,
Songs and games,
Life's just Rosie.

Donald and Mickey,
America and Disney,
Life's just Rosie.

Chips and fish,
T.V. and Elvis,
Life's just Rosie.

Christmas and sweets,
Presents and treats,
Life's just Rosie.

Life's full of love, fun and clowns,
There's no need to be upset or sad,
So throw away those tear drenched frowns,
And be happy, fun-loving and glad....

Cause life's just Rosie.
