A dream come true!!

As anyone received an email like this,

THIS WEBSITE

Shane Bernier is a courageous seven-year-old boy from Lancaster, Ontario who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only five. On June 6th, 2006 Shane and his family received some unfortunate news: Shane experienced a relapse after completing 108 of 130 weeks of treatment.

However, despite the bad news, Shane has managed to keep a positive outlook on his situation and has made a heart-warming wish... He hasn’t asked for money or toys or anything of the sort. Instead, his birthday is on May 30th and he would like to break the world record for the most birthday cards ever received. His goal is 350 million cards. With every card, Shane’s courage grows. Something as simple as sending a birthday card could be enough to help Shane find peace and joy in his current circumstances.

Please take the time to send a card to Shane and make his dream become a reality. Share his story with your friends, family and co-workers. If at all possible, get your youth groups, church congregations, employees, neighbours or communities to set aside a few minutes to write a thoughtful note to Shane.

With every card, Shane’s smile grows...




Well I for one am off to buy a birthday card!!!!
 
oh gosh!!! makes all your problems look like little nothings...l shall send this link to all my friends..
 
Poor little guy......reading stuff like this really does put things in perspective.

Wasn't there another youngster years ago that had the same wish for cards, and even now continues to get cards?
I vaguely recall reading something about it.

Thanks Eel.....when I first read Susan's post, before clicking on the link, my first thought was
urban legend, however the links and news reports looked legit. Thanks for the snopes links
