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.
* d4 @* T" m: T; ~& V/ EThis 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.3 P a6 r3 {) R5 H. n+ z6 X) K
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
6 ] m* e) c7 V, v: R0 u/ CBy 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 Z% d2 K5 |! r6 A. J4 n I& p4 s
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
