She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.* ]% ?2 ]: z$ h" ^9 p1 H
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!6 I7 o( O: K8 A4 F/ j
