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.3 o8 s- n v7 Y+ c
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.3 h9 J! `$ d% n& H- _* \1 j9 u
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.; _6 H+ a9 D6 l4 ^
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!% L5 }* ~. R* ]: j b# V) R5 T G
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
