Hi Everyone
The above site is about Mason, a 9yr old that was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous brain tumor, his family is helping him gather valentines, postcards or notes from all cities in the 50 states and any other countries. Could you take a couple of minutes to send a little joy from your corner of the world?
His address is :
Mason Kempf
7700 W. 96th Terrace
Overland Park, KS 66212
Thank you
Pia

Hey Pia -
Is this something we could share on Facebook? Wouldn't want to do so without permission. Thanks for sharing!

Tracy I have no idea - I posted here because in the blog it talks about sending cards and it gives his address so I though it would be OK to post it here. Being from KC I found out about this from a mass email that went out from a friend of mine in KC (where he lives) We probably shouldn't but then again I don't really know.

Facebook... when you go to Mason's blog, there is a "share" tag at the top, and Facebook is one of the choices. I see no reason not to post a link on Facebook if you wish.

Well there you go
I'm not on Facebook so I know nothing about it but if the tag is there I think it is a great idea - do you think I should post this on the "on topic" forum - I know not everyone visits here but what do you think.

Pia, I'd be honored too. Very nice of you to post that information here.

Pia this brought tears to my eyes. Every time I've sat at the oncologist's office with DH I keep thinking "this would be even harder if it were one of our kids." My heart goes out to this family and I'm glad you posted. Any little bit of joy we can share is a blessing!
