Every once in a while I come across something online that stops me in my tracks. Today it was the following post on Twitter from Dave Delaney:
RT @griffintech: Please consider buying this case, if not for you, buy it for a friend http://bit.ly/CELxd
I’ve never met Dave, but I know through his tweets that he works for Griffin Technology, makers of some cool iPod accessories. Based on that I followed the link, expecting to see Griffin’s latest product. Instead I found a blog post about Griffin and inkswell donating some custom iphone cases to the Molly Fund.
I also learned about Molly Rowlee, a five-year-old who lost her life to Lymphoma this past July, just five months after she was diagnosed. I hadn’t heard of Molly before today, but her story hit me really hard, not only because of her age, but also because the Rowlees live in New Hampshire, not too far from where my wife and I are rasing our three-year-old daughter.
It’s strange that it took a guy from Nashville to let me know about a worthy cause in my own backyard, but that’s what happened. From the beginning, I’ve wanted SNHParents to be a place where families share the best of New Hampshire with each other. It seems only right that it also be used to share ways we can help those in need.
So take a minute and read about Molly. If you’ve got an iPhone, consider getting one of the custom cases. Thanks to generosity of Griffin Tech and inkswell, the entire purchase price benefits the Molly Fund.
Don’t have an iPhone? Make a donation or just help spread the word.
