Birthday Cards for Shane

Found this in a facebook group:

Quote:

Shane Bernier is a 7 year old boy that was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of five years old. June 6th, 2006 was a shocking day for Shane's family and doctors because he experienced a relapse after completing 108 of 130 weeks of treatment. The only thing that this amazing little boy has requested for his birthday is cards. Not money, or video games, or a remote control car.... but Birthday Cards. His goal is to beat the world record of 350 million cards received.

Send Cards to:

Shane Bernier
PO Box 484
Lancaster, Ontario
K0C 1N0
Canada

Don't take life for granted... be grateful for what you have and for the people in your life that love you. Feel free to contact me with any ideas or questions concerning the situation. Please help this little boy.

Is anyone else doing this? This seems like it would be a fun sisterhood activity to make cards together.

For what it's worth, according to Snopes, this is on the up-and-up.

when is his birthday? i think i would love to send him a card...

I believe it's May 30.

Great idea! Might I add that currently a card to Canada cost 63 cents to send? And I will be sending one!

when is his birthday? can I still send one if it's not his birthday?

:) That sounds like such a great idea! I can't wait to send a card out, I'll tell my chapter and friends too!!! Thanks for sharing! Hope Shane beats the record

I sent Shane a card... but consider this, folks... if this terminally ill child can get 300 million birthday cards, why not send money in his name to the american Cancer society? If everyone that sent a card sent a $5 donation to ACS for each card, and this goal gets met, that's $1.5 billion.

Something to think about!
