5 B9 Y4 {+ A3 \/ G) R* i9 tThis young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
. {/ X: | B6 mShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.9 X8 P" ?6 X7 ~! h4 n
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!
