Ok RS, we need your help on this.

We are doing something nice this year (early Christmas present) by having as many of us send this kid an Xmas card. The task is simple and the cost is inexpensive (just pay for a card and stamp). We argue and complain about petty things in life like which car is faster... when this kid won't live long enough to drive. We need to check ourselves sometimes.

Please send your card asap and sign it.. and may be say where you're writing from (e.g. Vancouver, Canada). As a "thank you" RS will publish your name/username on the front page as a contributor

We'd have to do this quickly as his prognosis is likely short...

jACE

A friend of one of our bodyman has a five year old boy named Noah who is car crazy, but sadly though he is loosing his battle with Cancer. His parents were told that he will most likely not make it to Christmas this year. They decided to celebrate Christmas early this year so Noah could be a part of it.

When they asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said he wanted a bunch of Christmas cards so I am e-mailing you to ask if you wouldn't mind helping this little boy have the best Christmas he has ever had.

If you want to be a part of this boy's wish, please send a Christmas card to (USA postage needed - $0.98):


Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon

Any help would be appreciated.

Sent it off this morning, cancer is brutal.

[Inaii]

Poor little guy :( I need to stop at the drug store today, so I'll pick one up and mail it. I think there was something similar to this last year, but the kid was a bit older. Even if it's not real, this kid is about to get a lot of christmas cards :)

[q0192837465]

My gf made a bunch of Christmas card this year. I'll ask her for one & put a pic of my car in as well. Fake or not, doing that will definitely give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Win-win situation, so why not.

[KingDeeCee]

I'll make one. I can imagine his parents in tears everyday as more and more envelopes get sent.

[roastpuff]

I have an idea - I will look further into it, but basically what I want to do is to contact Skip Barber Racing or something similar, and I want to see if they can take him around the track for several laps, just to get him a taste of life at high speed.

If it is possible, are you RS members willing to chip in $5-$10? I'm pretty sure that with the amount of traffic here at RS it is perfectly doable.

Thanks for your support everyone. The email came to me from the guys who came down from Jellybean Hotrods during the last RS summer meet.

For those of you who sent your xmas cards already, great job! Here's my contribution! I sent him some RS stickers (the limited edition ol' school Ideal Tint silver ones! oh snap!) and a photo of my car.

http://i36.tinypic.com/25rfocw.jpg

If you want to be recognized for your contribution, please PM me or email me at jluey2@hotmail.com with your name/username and where you're from (Richmond, Victoria, Okanagan, Toronto, etc) asap. Time is a ticking! I'm going by the honour system so I trust that you've sent your card already. Hurry, hurry! It only takes 5 minutes out of your day!

For those who have no idea how much it is to mail a letter to the US these days anymore.

Its 98cents.....after tax is $1.03 (under 30grams, which a standard Christmas card is)

Heading out to find a very special card right now!

Ok, so this is the list I've compiled after reviewing this post. If it sounded like you were going to send a card, I included you on the list anyway; I've based it on the honour system.

i was in nyc and this girl had a little table in times square asking people to sign her cards, so i did it there.

just got back from the mall and sent the card. i'll post pics up later when I can find out how to transfer pics from my phone onto the computer. just to give you guys an idea its a penguin and his arms fold out and say "This much" but i dont remember what it said before that LOL. person at the mailing place said it'll get there in a week!

mailed mine!

[shenmecar]

I can already imagine the amount of Christmas cards the boy will be getting. He said he wanted a bunch of Christmas cards, but he probably didnt imagine it will be this many.

[LC21]

imma make him a card <3

[SkinnyPupp]

Don't bother, this story is 2 years ago, and they have requested that people stop sending cards now.

[jACEDesignsLtd]

Everyone: We are no longer sending out cards.

Skinnypup: 36 cards later... thanks for sharing vital info like this now! :p I hope to God that's NOT true. The email request from the owner of Jellybean Hotrods I got was last week or so. You'd think one could differentiate between a friend's son living last week and having died 2 years ago. But I will inquire this further for everyone's sake. Before I question another man's request for help, can you please PM me links to your sources first. Thanks, SP.

Regardless, I think what's important is that someone asked for help and RS Members responded quickly out of their goodness of their hearts.

And on a personal level, I want to thank those members who did contribute. A few members on the list have "questionable" behaviour on RS forums (don't ask me who :p), but what it boils down to is that "actions speak louder than (internet) words". This shows me, and should show you guys too, that yes, there are RS members that do care when someone needs help.

[+Kardboard+]

Yes, please keep us posted, chief.

and from the FB group:

Description:
I just want to thank everyone for sending cards as well as prayers to Noah.

His family has asked me to relay the message that no more mail is sent to Noah as he is not doing well and his mom and dad want Noah to be with his family as much as possible.

Please continue to pray for Noah and the Biorkman family.

As Christmas is approaching, I'm looking to keep this group going for children who are in need. When I first created this group, I had NO idea that there would be 80,000 members! We can make such an impact in someone's life.

If you have any ideas please don't hesitate to send me a message, otherwise I hope that you keep checking back for updates. (read less)

Sorry, but it is true. I didn't notice this thread until I saw the announcement. It's a good thing you are doing, but for some reason the request is making rounds again after 2 years. I think he's still alive, just really sick and wouldn't be able to appreciate the cards.

A good source for this type of info, as always, is snopes (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/biorkman.asp).

Wow! The outpouring of love and concern for Noah is just amazing! Scott and I never in a million years thought that so many people would want to send Christmas cards to Noah. However, please note: We did already celebrate Christmas LAST Sunday &mdash; November 8th.

PLEASE STOP SENDING CARDS AND GIFTS!!!!

Noah is very ill. He is not getting out of bed and it's time for Scott, our families, and I to concentrate on our son. His time is very short and he needs us.

Scott and I would like to say thank you so much for the support and continued show of love. However, we are asking that everyone please stop sending cards and gifts.

Also, everyone please post the stop order on Facebook and any other websites or organizations that you belong to. We need the peace right now.

[jACEDesignsLtd]

Ok thanks for the link, SP. I'm pretty sure we were all thinking the same thing: "Are we sending an Xmas card to a boy who has passed away 2 years ago???" But according to Snopes, the answer is no.

The post is recent and the family have managed to celebrate an Early Christmas with Noah on Nov. 8. Just flip through the dates:


snopes.com

Noah Biorkman
Claim: Noah Biorkman, a 5-year-old boy battling cancer, wants to receive Christmas cards.

OUTDATED

Example: (Collected via e-mail, October 2009)

Diana Harrison Biorkman has a 5-yr old son in his last stages of a 2 1/2 year battle with Neuroblastoma cancer. They are celebrating Christmas next weekend and Noah loves Christmas cards.

Please take a minute to send a card to:

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon MI 48178

Origins: 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:

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon Michigan, 48178.

The family also provided an alternate address for cards and letters:
Noah Biorkman
c/o Scott Biorkman
3480 Petoskey Way
Milford, MI 48380

Updates about Noah can be viewed on his section of the CarePages web site, on which an appeal was posted on 13 November 2009 asking people to please stop sending cards:

Mods when you do the contributors list please don't put my name down (i said I would send a card before) - I was going to send it out last Saturday but saw this and decided to respect the family's request.

[brokentelephone]

Next time, maybe suggest donating money to cancer research rather than wasting trees to cheer up a single kid. I'm sure a few grand has been spent on this boy, and I bet once he's dead those cards aren't going to morph into a doctor and cure cancer!

People, we should all be volunteering and making a real difference rather than feeling good about ourselves because we drove 5 minutes to a card store and wrote some sentimental crap to a stranger and posted it.

[JLC]

Whats stopping you from doing so? You can still donate or volunteer to a worthy cause to make a difference.

However many thousand was spent on cards and gifts to help a dying 5yr old boy feel that kind of joy and love (or still does) is priceless and was definitely worth every penny...

noah's passed away

http://www.freep.com/article/20091124/NEWS03/91124020/?imw=Y


South Lyon boy, 5, dies after early Christmas

BY ZLATI MEYER
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER


Noah Biorkman, the 5-year-old who received more than 1 million Christmas cards from around the world when it became apparent he wouldn't live until Christmas, died Monday of stage IV neuroblastoma in his home in South Lyon.

Noah was diagnosed in February 2007 and went into remission six months later, according to his Web site, www.carepages.com/carepages/NoahScottBiorkman/. In September 2008, he relapsed.

The effervescent child -- who charmed doctors and nurses at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, where he got much of his treatment -- enjoyed Matchbox cars and Thomas the Tank Engine, Kedrin Gall, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan's development director, said Monday.

• DISCUSS: Did you send a card to Noah?

The year he was diagnosed, the organization granted Noah's wish for a trip to Disneyland.

Noah is survived by his parents, Scott and Diana Biorkman. The funeral will be for family only.

Memorial contributions may be sent to Noah's Pediatric Oncology Fund, Department of Pediatrics and Oncology, U-M, 1500 E. Medical Center, D4202MPB, Ann Arbor 48109, or to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, 230 Huron View, Ann Arbor 48103.
