Rest In Awesomeness, Esther

I wanted to share something with you guys. Esther was a 16 year old Nerdfighter and Harry Potter enthusiast with advanced thyroid cancer. With the help of the Vlogbrothers and the Nerdfighters of the world, she spearheaded a campaign that helped send much needed supplies to the flood refugees through the Harry Potter Alliance. Thanks to her, we were able to send not one, not two, not even three, but four plane loads of supplies to those in need.

She passed away on Wednesday at about 3am.



John's video includes links to help her and her family, but I wanted to put another one in here for any of you who aren't aware of the Harry Potter Alliance.

This is a really amazing group and I strongly encourage each of you to check it out, and spread the word. Rest in peace, Esther. I never knew you out here in the real world, but I know the lives of thousands of people suck just a little less because of you, and that is pretty darn amazing.
