I think that this is not a good idea.  I have heard of this request
often with the name of the child and the type of card to be sent.  I
believe that this was a true situation several years ago and the little
boy did make the record and has sinced passed away.  The problem is,
however, is that the requests kept circulating.

Please check with The Children's Make-A-Wish Foundation before sending
anything so that they don't get inundated with extra mail.
