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.- j5 M$ [1 C$ n$ ]* c/ {7 k0 S* T
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.
6 ]1 A; }0 B) |8 j* f% l. F! eShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
- K( {( d$ R! w Z4 [% _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!
