I have a friend who's 11yr old son Matt has brain cancer. He is having a contest with his friend who is close to the same age and also has cancer. They are trying to see who can get the most greeting cards sent to them in the next 3 months. Their doctor is going to keep count for them. If you would like to help Matt cover his wall email me at <email address removed for privacy> and I will send you his address. These two boys seem to be quite a pair so this should be fun for both of them. (Last time they had chemo together they switched arm bands and one of them smuggled his garter snake into the hospital and they scared the nurses with it.  ) He would love to get cards from as many places as possible.

| Those who have private messaged me or emailed me I replied to them this morning as fast as my computer would let me. I know he will love getting the cards. Thank you so much. The Dr. told them over the weekend that the tumor is still growing and chemo isn't helping. They have some tough decisons to make. Please keep them in your prayers. Mom and stepdad are having a tough time with the Matts bio-father. (He called the hosp. and told them he wasn't paying for anymore treatments....let the boy die. [last week]) Step-dad is a truck driver and is gone a lot (co. is keeping him as close to home as poss. in case something happens) so mom needs all the prayers she can get. |

| Just to update. Matt has gotten 25 cards so far and his friend has gotten 45. His mom says he sits by the window every day waiting on the postman to see if he's gotten any cards. He is having a blast with this! Thanks everyone! |
