PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.4 r' C! L: ~" H4 I: C0 D7 l
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.$ d* M$ v+ P% F1 P( _. K* Q s3 R
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.+ b+ M1 C1 z: S" M m
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!) Y! r& s6 |7 }8 [2 m; s7 i
