Um, if he was born in 1979, why was he only 8 in 1989?

Hmmm, somehow I missed that. Snopes gives his birthdate as stated, and gives his age at the time of the appeal as 9. However, About.com mistakenly gives his age at the time as 8, which is probably the source of my error. I will fix it.—Clipdude 04:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 350 Million conflicts with Make-a-Wish claim of 16 million

the make-a-wish website says "He received more than 16 million cards," not 350 million. is there a reference for the 350 million figure?

[edit] Link to Guinness

I came upon this page out of curiosity because someone at my office is circulating the same type of email asking for cards for a child in Northern Ontario. I knew of the Craig Shergold story and therefore forwarded the article to her. I noticed the last external link to Guinness is not working. Perhaps someone who is watching this page could try to track down the new page. --Renrenren 00:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Make-A-Wish implies credit when they were not responsilbe

If you read Make-A-Wish's own statements carefully, you will discover that they were not involved with this child's wish at any time. That they don't mention the active wish organization that did grant the wish, while mentioning the success of it, is shameful.
