Dying 5 year old - asking for Christmas Cards... - Blu-ray Forum

flyfree432 · 11-06-2009, 05:12 AM

I just saw this on facebook:

Noah Biorkman is a 5-year-old boy who was diagnosed with Stage IV neuroblastoma in February 2007. Although he went into remission in August 2007, his family says, in September 2008 Noah "relapsed with lesions in his right arm and right leg," and "after going through six different trials, the cancer continues to spread."

As radio station WKSR in Pulaski, Tennessee, notes on its web site, one of its on-air personalities is an acquaintance of Noah Biorkman's mother and verified the above-quoted appeal for Christmas cards for her son:

Christmas will come early for a five year old Michigan boy this year. Noah Biorkman is battling cancer and is not expected to live much longer.

Noah's mother and WKSR morning personality Ed Carter went to school together years ago. They keep in touch by email. She mentioned the early Christmas for her son in an email to Ed.

Mrs. Biorkman is asking for Christmas cards for her son. If you would like to take time to send a card or letter, send it to:

Just remember terminal kids are the same as any other kid, what i mean is, if you send him a card, he better see a little green in it when he opens it up, don't disappoint him with an empty one

it only takes a shiny crisp new 1, but don't send it empty

I just told my activities department about this. Next week we will be sending him a whole box of cards from the staff and residents here.

That is so sad! I'll be sure to send a card this weekend!

It was just reported on the local news that the post office in South Lyon got 80,000 pieces of mail for the boy today.

My patients are sitting around a table filling out cards for him as I type. We plan to send them all together in a box. A few are putting cash in for him as well.

There is a somewhat similar story here in my local area. Many people are decorating early for a 2 year old that will likely not make it to Christmas. He is dying of leukemia. Hurts to see this happen to people that are so young.
