33 1Ups Bracelet

Artist’s Note: This bracelet was created in honor of Alex Molle, a good friend and strong fighter against the limitations of cystic fibrosis. He now continues to live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Recently, it came to my attention that he saw the 1up green mushroom from Mario as a symbol, he had planned to one day get it as a tattoo, to celebrate his life. Since he was unable to do so, some have gotten the tattoo in honor of his memory, some are starting a walk for charity on his behalf. So to add to the amazing care and support of his loved ones I would like to help out others, like Alex that are in hopes of a cure and aim to spend life to the fullest as he did. 

90% of the cost will be donated to the CF Foundation in memory of Alex.

Available for $33 USD at Rammkah.

I really love the idea of getting a 1UP Mario Mushroom tattoo as both a defiant and celebratory statement.

Rest in Peace, Alex.
