Meet Noah.

I recently came across Noah in a blog by Me Ra Koh and it tugged at my heart. Here is an excerpt from that post.
Dr Tom Curran is a radio personality, and he is in the process of setting up a 24 hour (live) online Rosary where people around the world can meet together online and pray. One of the prayer requests last night was for a family in Michigan where 5 year Noah is in the final stages of his 2.5 year battle with Neuroblastoma…a particularly vicious form of childhood cancer with a 0% chance of survival. (If you’ve read the amazing book Gloria’s Miracle you know how ruthless this disease really is.)

Well, Noah is probably not going to make it to Christmas so the family is going to celebrate the holiday this coming weekend. Apparently, Noah likes Christmas Cards and receiving things in the mail. The request was sent out to have people flood their mailbox with Christmas Cards encouraging Noah in his final struggle! If you could take a moment to send him a Christmas Card in the next few days, it would really be appreciated!

The news about Noah’s early Christmas has spread through a number of radio stations. I encourage you to join those sending Noah Christmas cards. What a great way to show our children compassion and love towards others. I have included Noah's address below. It was given to the Catholic radio show as well as many other blogs.

Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, MI 48178
My prayers go out to this family during this struggle.
