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.4 \9 U/ q5 G3 a* u$ c
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.. u7 q$ ?& f0 O- A5 j
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 `, v4 v( R$ Z
