In Info-Hams digest 131 there was a mail message about a boy called David
living in Wales who is dying from cancer, the message was repeated from
sri-nic.arpa, and was asking people to send David a postcard c/o a Miss
MacWilliams at his school.

About a month ago there was a report on the BBC TV program 'Thats Life'
which said the school had been flooded with postcards from around the
world. David has achieved his record attempt, but the postcards keep
on flowing in. The school/parents have requested that no more postcards
be sent.

Could you please recirculate this request around any similar networks
/mailing lists etc.,
