Using the power of social networking – we have the opportunity to grant a child’s last Christmas wish.
Noah Biorkman is a 5-year old boy who was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma in February of 2007. Although he went into remission in August 2007, his family says, in September 2008 Noah “relapsed with lesions in his right arm and right leg,” and “after going through six different trials, the cancer continues to spread.”
The family is celebrating Christmas early for Noah this year – and he loves Christmas Cards. The following address may be used to send him cards & gifts:
Noah Biorkman
c/0 Scott Biorkman
3480 Petoskey Way
Milford, MI 48380
I mention this story in order to promote the Spirit of Christmas – and the continual support & love we can show for one another through simple acts of kindness.
I feel so grateful to have the opportunity of using social networking – not only for teaching – but for helping those in need. We have the unique experience in this age of “cyber” communication to connect our entire globe – and every individual within. By showing support we’re able to spread our messages, promote material & help in times of trial.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, whether you send Noah a card or whether you believe in this message; remember one, simple fact.
We all have the capacity to love & serve.
Take the time to spread Noah’s story – and let’s give him the very best Christmas, which he entirely deserves.

Thanks for sharing this great cause. I'm sure Noah will get more Christmas cards than he ever dreamed of. This is because of blogs like this that are willing to do what they can to help out those who are less fortunate.
That's the hope and plan!
I am interested in learning more about social media theories and best practices. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good books. It has been tricky to find good information since the industry is changing so rapidly.
Visible Measures also has a pretty cool tracking and publishing system that tracks results but also helps you better deliver videos. Worth a look if you're interested in this area.
