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.
" s' V5 D: u! w6 T. hThis 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.2 p4 i! B, ^ ]0 b! Q( z; r2 s) D" M
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
# P; B, D" j9 k- N7 R0 u% BBy 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!
