I was just made aware of this child's situation and I didn't hesitate to participate.Noah Biorkman was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma in February 2007. He went into remission in August 2007. In September 2008, Noah relapsed with lesions in his right arm and right leg. After going through six different trials, the cancer continues to spread...
They are celebrating Christmas this weekend because they do not think he will make it through the season. He asked his mom if she could have his friends send him Christmas cards or ornaments for Christmas. He loves Christmas.
I don't know Noah, but he's a 5 year old little boy having to endure so much. I felt that sending him a Christmas card was the least I could do. So, I'm passing the word to try and get everyone to send a Christmas card his way to make things a little brighter for him.
You can send cards to this address:
Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, Michigan 48178
Thanks y'all! May the warm fuzzies be abundant!
**Update from Noah's parents**
"Wow!! Thanks! Please STOP!!!!
Wow! The outpouring of love and concern for Noah is just amazing! Scott and I never in a million years thought that so many people would want to send Christmas cards to Noah. However, please note: We did already celebrate Christmas LAST Sunday -- November 8th.
PLEASE STOP SENDING CARDS AND GIFTS!!!!
Noah is very ill. He is not getting out of bed and it's time for Scott, our families, and I to concentrate on our son. His time is very short and he needs us.
Scott and I would like to say thank you so much for the support and continued show of love. However, we are asking that everyone please stop sending cards and gifts.
Thank you for your understanding in this request"

I pray for Noah :(
Oh! Noah NEEDS HUG AND KISSES TO OXXXXOOO.GOD BROUGHT HIM TO IT AND GOD WILL GET HIM THROUGH IT. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND HEART ALWAYS OPEN
I came across your profile via a link on the Kraft Kitchens Food & Family site. I shared Noah's story with my five-year-old kindergarten students and they immediately set out to write a class set of Christmas cards. I personalized some ornaments and they're on their way! Just hoping this spread of warmth will help sustain his spirit. Best wishes as Noah fights this illness. My prayers are with Noah and his family.
