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.
4 c Q+ i' N+ E' @8 DShe'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
: v5 x' Y2 I6 X9 \ N3 WBy 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!7 Y5 S0 d& ~, P p* S
