Note this is a least a second-hand request.

Riley Philpot is a 9 year old little girl who has been battling a rare
form of cancer since she was 6. Her cancer has returned and she is
currently in the hospital. Make A Wish Foundation was contacted and
Riley's wish was not a trip to Disney World. It is to have the mailman
dump a bag of "a million" Get Well cards at her door when she returns!!
Please take the time to send a Get Well card to Riley. Thank you so
much!

Such schemes were amongst the first internet spams. Send a card only if
you
know her.

And please keep her in your prayers as well.
Now THAT is much more likely to do her good!


I spent a month in England,, worked in Horsham and stayed in London..took
the train back and forth five days a week...when I tell people about my trip
I always comment on how nice, caring, and civilized everyone was to me...so
I couldn't figure out your responce to this....but now I think I see.... a
meteorologist in England must have to be a bitter person ...how sad

I prefer to put the price of card and stamp into a Cancer Research
charity collection tin.
Just imagine how much good a million times that sum could do, rather
than a mountain of cards which are of no practical use whatsoever.
