The inspiration for Hives for Lives was an incredible man named Michael Otto Houlahan. He was an intelligent, loving and beautiful man. Four years ago, at the age of 63 he passed away from the deadly disease of cancer. He was my grandfather. I was in the 6th grade when he died. Shortly after his death, my other grandparents came to visit my house. They had beehives that, at the time, were simply a hobby my sister and I shared with them. They were talking about how they didn’t know what we should do with all of the honey. My little sister Carly and I suggested we sell it for charity.

I started a nonprofit organization to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This summer we are hosting a large benefit concert in Minneapolis, MN, hoping to raise around $500,000.
