Molly and Carly Houlahan run their own organization called Hives for Lives, through which they sell home-produced honey and donate the money toward cancer organizations.
The sisters started Hives for Lives several years ago when their grandfather died suddenly of esophageal cancer. Molly and Carly decided to use their hobby, beekeeping, for a worthy purpose. They have been operating Hives for Lives for five years and have raised $150,000 for cancer research and treatment.
One in every two men and one in every three women are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. “That number is far too great, and so we wanted to do something about it.”
The sisters plan to continue their beekeeping to keep the Hives for Lives organization alive. They encourage other kids to raise and sell bees for Hives for Lives. However, Molly and Carly want young people find many ways in which they can apply their hobbies to do good works.
“Find your passion and apply it…to create change and do good in the world.”
