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.
! A a& l- V0 u4 ^$ I$ `: @She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
* Q) C- r. g. B# GBy 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!4 [4 X+ C9 Y: k0 \( U, `
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
