Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Defend That, Digger! The Overrated/underrated edition

Good Cause, need POD help.

Noah Biorkman is a 5 year old boy in South Lyon, MI who is in his last stages of a 2 1/2 year battle with Neuroblastoma cancer.

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.

This year, his family is celebrating Christmas early, and Noah loves to receive cards.

Please take some time to send Noah a Christmas card. Please do it as soon as possible.
Everything should go to the following:

Scott Biorkman
3480 Petoskey Way
Milford, Michigan 48380

I am not sure he is a Lions fan, but I am positive he is a child in need. I heard about this all the way out in Western New York and felt that this was an appropriate medium considering Noah is a Michigan native.

Please note, do not feel guilty or obligated to send Noah a card. I know that a lot of you here are caring and intelligent individuals and I do feel a strong bond with this online community so please help reach out to noah. 

Forever In the Pride,
M. Grossman

Sure

need some more details, though. Is he a young child or a teenager? I’d feel kinda bad sending a Snoopy card to a 15 yr old or a scantily clad Christmas playmate to a 6 yr old. Just a few minor details and that card will be in the mail

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to young Noah and his family.....

And while I feel compassion for them, we can barely afford birthday cards for our 2 kids. I don’t think the Biorkman’s will see this post, which is why I didn’t say anything sooner. Noah and his family will be in my prayers. Maybe the good Lord will give them a Christmas miracle……
