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.' P$ u/ u6 B0 S
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.
5 W g) [' F' `" T/ ]) V3 A9 sShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
+ l; _- I. d: `8 f% FBy 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.
