DISQUS

I believe it's a good idea!

I say: don't worry if you think it's wrong. That's self-doubt, and it's only going to interfere with a thoughtful gesture.

You are a great friend :)
Hope Michael has a speedy recovery!

Only concern I have would be that - should the Twitterverse act on this - it'll attract the attention of the Press. And do you want to chance reporters turning-up at Michael's hospital badgering people for comment?

Remove the street address - use a PO box instead - keep everything else...

Just my opinion!

Like Liam, I also thought of the annoying things that this can result in. I suppose sending cards and videos to an email address and screening them to Mike might turn out to be a better idea. Giving away the actual room number can be somewhat disturbing, especially when after such difficult treatment.
You are a great friend and the gesture is beautiful.

I think it's a great idea. Keep it up! And I'll send him something. :)

This is a great thing Joe. If we can harness the collective goodness of the social web for your friend then why wouldn't we. Cancer sucks and experimental treatments are scary. But hope and love are the life blood of someone battling cancer (and their loved ones). I am sending stuff. And will ask my friends to send stuff. You are a good friend Joe Said.

this is @martin001 from twitter and I am going to the store to buy a card right now! I think its a good idea :)

Joe, I think this is an awesome idea, as long as people don't get personal. If I was in the hospital on his situation, the last thing I need is people wanting me to remember their names or even to say thanks back. Trust me, if you (the readers) plan to do something for him, be anonymous and respectful, he will appreciate it.

Joe, you are a great friend.

We love you Mike. Stay strong for us.

So many people thinking positively and sharing goodwill is soothing and healing for the soul. I think this is an amazing idea. My son has cancer and I think at times feels really alone even with family and friends around. When he receives gifts, cards or just well wishes from a stranger he feels re-connected again.

I think it's an awesome idea and I shall always hope to achieve a level of friendship like you have with Michael in my life. I'll be writing often and remembering Michael in my prayers, you are both very unique individuals that the world is better for having lead the charge.

I agree with Liam - I'd suggest taking down the street address and use a PO box .. wonderful gesture on your part...

Hope the procedure went well today

My husband had a stem cell transplant almost three years ago (Jan 2006). If you'd like to talk or email, then email me first, and I'll get back in touch with you. Or I'll give you my husband's email address and you can talk or email with him. His name is John. I am assuming you will get the email address if I fill out the info. below. If not, come to my blog and leave a comment saying you'd like to talk about Michael and his situation. It really does help to talk with somebody who has been through it, and John will be willing to talk with you.
