    According to a call to the local "Make a wish" foundation this
    is a hoax.  He may be trying for a record, but as far as they
    know he is not ill.

This "foundation" was exposed recently on the American television show
"60 Minutes".  They showed how the whole thing was a scam.  Call CBS in
New York ( 212-975-4321 ) and ask to talk to someone from "60 Minutes"
and then ask how you can get a transcript.
