This chain letter has been roaming around the Internet for years. People have attempted to contact the listed American Cancer Society about Jessica Mydek and the claims made about donated funds various unnamed corporations, and that agency claims not have heard of Mydek OR of any corporate funds being set aside for her. Please be aware that THIS chain letter is a typical INTERNET HOAX.!
