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.) d6 }! g% b9 L" O" s" j
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.7 Y/ k( ^/ o. G* G/ {9 n8 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!! N. s7 z4 |+ _. J6 I6 T7 f" n
