Shane is a little boy with leukemia here in the local hospital. All he wants for his upcoming 8th birthday is birthday cards - LOTS of birthday cards, from all over the world. So guess who I thought of right away? All you card-loving Boomer women! If anyone here is interested in dropping a card in the mail to this little guy, you can send it to the following address:

Shane
c/o KISS FM

I'm not sure when his birthday is, but based on tonight's story on the news, I don't think it matters...I suspect this might catch on and he'll probably be getting cards for the next few weeks/months...I don't think he'll care if they arrive late.

I actually don't know this little guy or anything about him, except that he's very shy and has been in hospital for the better part of 3 years; I just saw his story on the news tonight and he touched my heart.

Eagle,
Just the other day I came across a birthday card that I'd purchased for a friend and then misplaced. I thought to myself, this one will go to who ever has the next birthday that comes along. It's his!

Count me in. I also have a place in my heart for sick children. That's one of the questions I'm going to ask God when I meet him face to face - why do kids have to suffer? Good health should be for the young.

The articles I read didn't say the date of little Shanes birthday, just that it was soon. My entire address book is getting this request....Bless his heart!
