Last Saturday, Eric and Kat Meyer lost their six-year-old daughter Rebecca to cancer.
For people who aren’t familiar, Eric Meyer is an active member of the web design community, author, and speaker.
Many web professionals know of him through his books, work on web standards, and his well-known reset.css.
I can’t imagine what the Meyer family is going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
To honor Rebecca, Jeffrey Zeldman is leading a campaign to get the hashtag #663399Becca to trend on Twitter today, June 12.
Let’s paint the web purple today to honor Rebecca.
If you’re on Twitter, share the #663399Becca hashtag and add your thoughts or message. Change your avatar to purple in memory of Rebecca.
If you would like, you can make donations in support of the St Baldrick’s Foundation in Rebecca Meyer’s memory.
