Cumulus Rallies B'Day Card Shower For Danny

Birthday Greetings from NASH Nights' Shawn and Elaina
Cumulus Media along with The Bert Show, Night Live with Adam Bomb, NASH Nights Live, and America's Morning Show are rallying around a little boy in Foxboro, MA, who is battling a rare form of inoperable brain cancer.

Danny Nickerson
Five-year-old 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.

“He had 33 radiations from November through December last year,” Nickerson said. “We are now getting chemo therapy every two weeks.”

Doctors tell Nickerson that less than 10 percent of the children diagnosed with this type of cancer live longer than 18 months.

Danny’s birthday is July 25. All cards can be mailed the Nickerson’s home addressed:

Danny Nickerson, P.O. Box 212, Foxboro, MA, 02035.
