A watercolor painting inspired by the charity This Star Won't Go Out.

Information about the charity from the TSWGO facebook page:

"This Star Won't Go Out was founded in 2010 to help families struggling through the journey of a child living with cancer. Caring for a seriously ill child creates tremendous stress for the family system, and having to worry about money is both burdensome and distracting. TSWGO's goal is to carry a bit of that burden for hurting families through financial gifts.

TSWGO has a second goal, and it's tied to why the foundation got started in the first place. TSWGO was established in memory of 16-year old Esther Earl, an avid Nerdfighter and passionate Harry Potter Alliance fan. Her online friends and causes met many of the social and emotional needs in her life, hampered as she was by her progressing thyroid cancer. Yet Esther (Persian for "Star") lived life fully, getting involved in social justice issues, loving her friends, her family and cats, and always remembering to be awesome. With the goal of never letting her Star go out, TSWGO will also be funding occasional projects that fit Esther's quirky, compassionate life vision."

This is really cool, actually this Friday is my school's relay for life and as I reflect on life this kind of thing is really cool. I personally knew Esther and I am walking partially for her. She was a sweet and quirky girl, and we all miss her. It's a good cause and I'm glad to see someone spreading the word.
