A sick childs wish...

[Running Mommy]

I was over on the TNO (tri newbies online) site tonight and I came across this:

ShaneBernier is a 7 year old cancerpatient at Lancaster hospital in Ontario and he has a wish. Although he's lost allof his hair, Shane's brightsmile and cheery personality have made hima hit with the staff. Inspite of all he's experienced & everythinghe's yet to face, hiswish is the kind only a sweet innocent wouldthink of.

For his 8th birthday, Shane would like to break a record; simply to become the person who has received the most birthday cards.

My card is on the way. If you'd like to help Shane's birthday wish come true, please send him a card at:

Shane Bernier
P.O. Box 484
Lancaster ON
CANADA
KOC 1NO

I just know what generous caring people we have over here so I thought I would pass this on.
BTW- There were some skeptical folks on TNO, so they did some searches and this appears to be legit.
I for one will be sending a card.
Also see the link to the radio station helping get the word out:

So I don't know what ya'll think, but personally I think he's cute as a button! I'll be sending him a card FOR SURE!!

It said on the link May 30th, so we have plenty of time. It also said he likes Legos, so I may try to make a card and incorporate some legos in it. God knows my sone has PLENTY to spare!!!

I don't want to sound heartless but there are many hoaxes of this type around the net. This one sounds genuine though, so go ahead....
