Shane, a 7 year old little boy with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He is an awesome guy who has been in hospital for over 2 years straight recieving Chemotherapy protocol (currently in week 108/130). He has one birthday wish this year: To Break the world Record for the Number of birthday cards recieved in one calendar year (record currently 35,000,000). His birthday isnt until May 30 but you can start mailing the cards now - so tell everyone you know to take a couple dollars, buy a card and a stamp and mail the card to :

Shane Bernier

This is so sweet. I'm going to have my kids participate in this. Is there somewhere we can go to get more information on this? We could spread the news

Guinness book retired the record in 1992, at 33 million. Also, the last person who made this request was Craig Shergold. He's received roughly 250 million cards since his request, because the message kept circulating even after his birthday (and the card still keep pouring in). So I find it surprising that someone else would make the same request. But Snopes confirms it's true...

It really surprised me. I had to look on Snopes to make sure that it wasn't the same request I got via email in 1992

I always check this kind of crap out on Snopes. Glad to hear others have the same reaction.

actually Sami he lives in Canada so you wouldn't have to put USA. I found his address on the myspace for it and (I believe) it had Canada under K0C1N0. But I think it would send to Canada whether or not you put Canada on it.
