- Hello:
-
-
-
- I have been a user of the News Net for some time, and I know that
-
- whenever someone posts somethig totaly irrelevent to the sig that
-
- he/she gets flamed something fierce!
-
-
-
- That is why I am donning my fire-proof suit to make this little post.
-
- It is one that I doubt anyone will flame me for, but I thought I'd
-
- be safe.
-
-
-
- You see, there is a seven year old dying, and his one last wish was
-
- not that he get everything that everyone wants, but instead is a
-
- fairly reachable goal. I think that if you were to comletely read
-
- what I am going to show you; you too will agree.
-
-
-
-
-
- The following is a text file that I found very touching, and thought
-
- that others could help out:
-
-
-
-
-
- LAST WISH
-
-
-
- A brain tumor is cutting short the life of seven-year-old
-
- Craig Shergold. His Last Wish doesn't seem very much to ask; simply
-
- that he receive some Get Well cards---hopefully enough to break The
-
- Guiness Book of World Records. If everyone reading this message
-
- could send him a card (or several!) and post this note on any
-
- bulletin boards or in any publications he/she may be in contact with,
-
- or even word of mouth, surely Craig's Last Wish will come true.
-
- Send your card(s) to:
-
-
-
- Craig Shergold
-
- c/o Children's Wish Foundation
-
- Suite 100
-
- 3200 Perimeter Center E.
-
- Atlanta, Ga. 39346
-
-
-
- P.S. If you are a person who believes in prayer, a prayer for this
-
- young man may, perhaps, find its way into another Book---and who
-
- knows?
-
-
-
- He may just get a Get Well "wish" from someone else.
-
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- Please, if you can, send him at least ONE card. I know about the
-
- vastness of the net, and I think that we can all fulfill this young
-
- man's wish.
-
-
-
- To do this, would be a kindness that eveyone can show!
-
-
-
- Thank you for taking your time and reading this. Maybe some of us
-
- can relate to this. Maybe others can do more to help... who knows...
