Thanks Huskers, never had a doubt this would get a great response.

I think it would be cool to put something like "from the husker family" or some variation on every card to let them know that all of husker nation is behind them.

5-year-old Noah Biorkman died after battling cancer, receiving support from thousands

 

Noah Biorkman, the 5-year-old South Lyon boy who captured the nation's attention early this month, died on Monday after battling cancer for nearly three years.

 

In early November, Noah's mother Diana mother posted a request for Christmas cards to help her son celebrate the holiday early. She knew he wouldn't make it to the end of December.

 

Noah was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma in 2007, when he was 3 years old. He went into remission, but then relapsed in September 2008.

 

After Diana'a request, which got picked up on social media sites like Facebook and Reddit, thousands of people from around the country and the world began sending cards and small gifts to the Biorkman home.

 

The family celebrated Christmas on Nov. 8, but the cards kept coming.

 

According to a statement released to WDIV yesterday by Diana Biorkman, more than one million cards eventually arrived at their home for Noah.

 

In the statement, Diana also thanks everyone for their support, and now hopes people can continue giving in honor Noah, but this time in the form of donations to cancer-related organizations.

 

Here is her statement:

 

WDIV, Nov. 23: "Scott and I, along with our families, would like to thank everyone for the continued support over the past few years during Noah’s illness. As most of you know, Noah has received more than 1 million Christmas cards over the past few weeks.

 

The outpouring of love and compassion has been remarkable and we are extremely grateful. We are now asking for everyone please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.

 

The funeral services will be for family only. We are asking that instead of sending cards and flowers to Scott and me; please make a donation in Noah’s name to either of the organizations below.

 

With your donation, Noah’s legacy will live on for many years to come, if not forever."

 

The organizations she chose are the Department of Pediatrics and Oncology at the University of Michigan and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. You can find address information for the organizations at clickondetroit.com.
