We Won't Let This Star Go Out
Esther Earl, who's name means 'Star', was a fantastic sixteen year old girl who died in August after battling cancer.
I was lucky enough to have had contact with her, but cannot pretend to have been particulalry close.
The 'This Star Won't Go Out Foundation' was founded by Esther's close friends and family shortly after her death to benefit the parents of children suffering with cancer as, particularly in America, it can be an incredibly expensive illness as well as an emotionally draining battle.
Esther was a regular blogger and active member of Youtube and made her way into the community of 'Nerdfighters' [people who follow the vlogs of John and Hank Green] and was well liked within this community.
DFTBA records, collaboratively set-up by Hank Green and Alan Lastufka, are offering these bracelets:

As a way of remembering Esther and contributing the Foundation set up by those she has sadly left behind.
Anyway, sorry, will be back to posting insane, inane ramblings in the near future, I just had to do my bit to get this out there :)
