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.; g N+ C: t( `4 t% G
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
+ _4 w Y) j _! b% P2 r7 XBy 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!% v7 O0 m l) ]1 a( e" m7 g
