DON'T SEND CARDS!

This story has been going around for years now, and it just won't stop. 
The little boy with cancer never existed, and the Make a Wish Foundation 
is being inundated with cards by well meaning but misled people. I 
actually sent a card about 5 years ago, and therafter received a card 
from Make a Wish informing me of the facts.
