I heard these stories about a dying child wanting postcards/get-well cards/business cards to get in the Guinness Book of World Records. Where can I post the address for people to help?
Post it to junk, or better yet, don’t post it at all. The story of the little boy keeps popping up, even though his mother and the agencies involved have been appealing for people to stop. So many postcards were sent that the agencies involved in the effort don’t know what to do with them. The Guinness people have recorded the boy, Craig Shergold, as the record holder in the category. However, they will not accept claims for a new try at the record. For confirmation, you can see page 24 of the 29 July 1990 NY Times or call the publisher of the Guinness Book (in the US, call Facts on File @ 212-683-2244). According to the 1993 edition of the GBWR, on page 213: Craig Shergold (born 1979) of Carshalton, Surrey when undergoing cancer chemo-therapy was sent a record 33 million get-well cards until May 1991 when his mother pleaded for no more. A successful 5 hour operation on a brain tumour by neurosurgeon Neal Kassel at Virginia University, Charlottesville, USA in March 1991 greatly improve
