Rockefeller Center's CHRISTMAS tree arrived yesterday and began the holiday season for all children, young and old. As we begin to see commercials and the aisles at grocery stores and convenience stores warp into red and green, our Xmas spirit tingles within. By Thanksgiving, we will be ready to BURST and explode with Christmas cheer that very next day.
But as we anticipate this coming holiday, there is someone who is celebrating sooner than most. Last weekend, 5-year-old Noah Biorkman received gifts and cards with family and friends. Why so soon? This Michigan child has been diagnosed with a fatal disease: stage IV neuroblastoma. He is currently in hospice and his family didn't want him to miss the holiday season.
Diagnosed when he was three, this may be his last Christmas. In order to make this sad truth more cheery, the family is welcoming xmas cards from the public to brighten his time. Cards may be sent to: Noah Biorkman, c/o 99.5 WYCD, 2201 Woodward Heights Blvd., Ferndale, MI 48220-151.
Everyone knows someone who has been touched by tragedy. There is no reason why this little boy should miss the magic of Christmas; please help.
