Girl, 8, Celebrates UK Birthday Card Record
Amelia Kolpa, living with cancer, received over 250,000 birthday cards worldwide, surpassing her 8,000-card wish, with 2,500 bikers delivering many in a special event.
- On March 3, 2026, Amelia Kolpa, eight-year-old from Rowley Regis, received 250,000 birthday cards, far exceeding her 8,000 goal, from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
- Her family's online appeal urged people to drop off cards at three Rowley Regis locations and went viral, while earlier last month around 2,500 bikers helped deliver cards on Thursday, February 5.
- Family and friends gathered at Merry Hill at 10.30am to perform the Macarena, and her aunt said `Whatever she's going through and whatever pain she's been in, she's always smiling and thinking of others, like with all the presents she's been given.`.
- Supporters say the campaign has united local and national supporters and inspired a family planning a charity related to neuroblastoma, while parents of hospitalised children expressed thanks for Amelia's gifts.
- Diagnosed in 2020, Amelia underwent 23 months of treatment for stage 4 neuroblastoma and, after relapses and clinical trials, is now receiving palliative care.
