|I saw this on a CMU bboard, and decided that it should get seen.
|.. But this is a popular bboard, so it reaches alot of people. It
|would be cool if people would help this boy, and it would be even cooler
|if you would pass this along to other people and other networks where it
|can reach others. Thanx.
|
| Send a card to:
|
| Craig Shergold
| Children's Wish Foundation
| 32 Perimeter Center
| Atlanta, GA 30346
|
| Craig is 7 years old and has a brain tumor. He has a short time to
|live.
|But he has one wish: to break the Guiness World Book Record for card
|receiving: 1,000,265. He is trying to do this by 4/15/90.
|would be cool if people would help this boy, and it would be even cooler
|if you would pass this along to other people and other networks where it
|can reach others. Thanx.
Do NOT send a card.
Whether this is a hoax or not, millions of people sending cards
will only swamp the postal system.
See newsgroup talk.rumours for the running discussion.
Send a dollar to your favorite charity instead.
