A relative of mine sent this to me this morning. I figured I'd pass it along
to all of you sentimental types.

Craig Shirgold is a seven year old boy and he is dying.  He has made a
wish with the Children's Wish Foundation.  All he asks for is one 
million cards by his birthday on August 15th.  If he receives them he will
make
the World Book of Records before he dies.  Please send cards to :  

Craig Shirgold c/o the Children's Wish Foundation
32 Perimeter Center
East, Atlanta, GA  30346.  

He's just a little boy who wants to do
something special before he dies.  Just one card, one stamp, one moment 
of our time for Craig, a child who wants to be remembered.

Thanks in advance!  Feel free to pass this message along to others.




DONT BELIEVE THIS!  Based on a CNN story I heard, this little stunt is a
ploy by an unnamed company to get a list of prospective clients for an
advertising mailer.  There was a drive similar to this one some time ago,
but if I'm not mistaken, it has already been canceled.
