Foxboro Boy with cancer wants birthday cards


ABC News:
A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy battling cancer said all he wants for his upcoming birthday is a box of birthday cards. Danny Nickerson, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, will turn six on July 25. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor this past October -- one of the most chemotherapy-resistant cancers. As a result, he has since stopped going to kindergarten. The boy gets lonely from time to time, and is always happy to get cards with his name written on them.“He can recognize his name now,” Carley Nickerson, Danny’s mother told ABC News. “When he saw his name on the package from magical fairies on Easter, he was so happy.”
But the packages and cards stopped after Easter.

We often give our support to a certain group in Foxboro, Ma. Let's show our support for Danny Nickerson, too.
I also commend Barstool Sports Boston for bringing this story to light.

Danny's birthday is this Friday, July 25th. All cards can be sent to his home address at:
Danny Nickerson
P.O. Box 212
Foxboro, MA 02035
