Marilyn here and I have another request. There is a little seven year old boy in Canada who will turn 8 on May 30. His name is Shane Bernier, and he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when he was only 5. He likes all sports, building things, and video games. He doesn't like to be in the hospital for long periods of time, and his favorite thing in the whole world is legos. After 1 month into the treatment he was in early remission, meaning there were no cancer cells in his blood. Shane's family was very pleased with the early results, but his protocol called for 130 weeks of treatment. Then on July 6th, 2006 Shane relapsed after completing 108 of the 130 weeks. It was a shock to everyone including his doctors. Shane may have to undergo a bone marrow transplant down the road, but the good thing is that his brother Jacob is a match. Presently, there is no sign of cancer in Shane's system since relapsing. Shane has one wish - he wants to get into the Guinness World Book for receiving the most Birthday cards. He needs over one million. Lets all help him reach his goal. Please send this little boy a card at this address - *Shane Bernier Box 484 Lancaster Ontario CANADA K0C 1N0 * *I know this is off topic, and I will take ALL THE HEAT. email me at [log in to unmask] if you are upset. * If I don't get right back to you - I'm out mailing my card. [Moderator's note: Actually, this one *is* true, but before you mail that card, please take a look at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/bernier.asp and decide for yourself how to best handle it.
