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.- T: k0 h7 W( N4 U/ l& w( Z
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.
: c, u6 j6 `2 x# \* G7 m9 c) VShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
% U _/ d3 R, b5 ^( O* ^* R7 gBy 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!# a! k' s/ k2 \2 _5 ^1 O. e
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
