This 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.

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!" u1 B" K* g: P. w- l& m: v! h
