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.* o" a# W* B% A% L |# C9 W4 e
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.
0 N9 S9 o* B6 f) C7 a( w( cShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.2 h* o& g! j" 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!* f1 Z1 i1 @) F. L" ^
