This is about a very sick little boy who has been in CHEO for 1 year! His wish is to break the world record for receiving the most greeting cards.

Mail him a card (get well, valentine, birthday, whatever) and then PLEASE forward this email to everyone you know! Let's make this little guys wish come true so his family can have that sweet little smile for many, many years to come!

Name: Shane

Age: 7 Diagnosis: A.L.L. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Likes: all sports, building things, video games Dislikes: being in the hospital for long periods of time Favourite thing in the whole world: Lego

At almost 5 years old Shane was diagnosed with A.L.L. After 1 month into the treatment he was in early remission, meaning there were no cancer cells in his blood. Shane's family was very pleased with the early results, but his protocol called for 130 weeks of treatment. Then on July 6th, 2006 Shane relapsed after completing 108 of the 130 weeks. It was a shock to everyone including his doctors. Shane may have to undergo a bone marrow transplant down the road, but the good thing is that his brother Jacob is a match. Presently, there is no sign of cancer in Shane's system since relapsing.

Have you ever wished that something you did could make a major difference in someone's life? Well here's your chance! KISS FM wants you to know about Shane, a soon to be 8 year old - battling Leukemia at CHEO. You can join Shane's battle with a simple Birthday Card. It may seem like an overly-simplistic gesture, but to Shane, it would mean the world.

Simply mail (or drop off) a birthday card to:
