Danny Nickerson made headlines this week when he told his mom that all he wanted for his sixth birthday was a box of birthday cards. Nickerson, a Foxborough, Ma., boy who has a rare inoperable brain tumor, loves to get mail, so his mom took to social media to spread the word. Over the weekend his neighbors, the New England Patriots, gave Danny another birthday surprise.
