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." h, @4 w1 \' A" b1 n
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.. t5 _ P/ ~1 N
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
& a2 h& F* w) t5 v8 f1 y; sBy 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!. S$ w5 E" X7 l) `
