I pasted the information about this little boy's story below. I copied it from his local news station's webpage. The scam about an ill child has been going around for more than 2 years, it's been going on since before email. It's been going on since when people would mail out chain letters in the US mail. This one is real though. You can even mail the cards to the local radio station.
There's a little boy in this city hoping for a very unique birthday gift this year. He's 7 and all he wants are cards.
Shane Bernier was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2004. He spends his days and nights at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
He says he wants the card because he likes seeing his name on paper. His supporters say the cards are a way to help him experience joy, an important step in recovery.
Shane's birthday is on May 30. If you're interested in sending him a card you can mail it to:

Here's the link to the story on the local radio station's webpage - the little boy's story was on the front page of their website.
