Believe Project: $100 to a young girl who's battled cancer most of her life

Today's winner of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Judith Fell of Palatine.

Here is an excerpt of her pitch:

"Rosie has been battling brain cancer since she was 3 and doctors did not expect her to survive, but today she is 10. Although she's had her share of serious challenges, Rosie never fails to think of others. She shaved her head to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation for cancer research. She held dance marathon fundraisers and started a toy box for other children at Lurie's Children's' Hospital. Her challenges are not over, but her spirit is amazing. I would give $100 to Rosie and her family to let them know they are not alone."

• The Believe Project mails a $100 bill each day to someone with a good idea for how to use it to do a good deed for someone else.
