David Noëlis the Community Evangelist for the popular audio sharing siteSoundCloud, and when he found out that his friend Amit was diagnosed with Leukemia, he decided to use what he knows best to help him out. SoundCloud.
Today, David has set up this page on SoundCloud using its Dropbox integration to help give his friend Amit a vote of confidence for his upcoming battle with Cancer. You can read hisblog post about Amit here, originally posted by Amit’s friend Chrysanthe Tenentes, Community Manager atFourSquare. He would like you to simply upload messages for Amit.
Without even signing up you can record a song, a message, a joke, or anything you want and upload it toshare with Amit.
After my very public battle with cancer (see:#BlameDrewsCancer), I can honestly say that being connected to people all over the world did help me quite a bit. It cheered me up at all hours of the day, when I was sick and weak, and when I wanted to give up. So clearly, this is an approach that I fully endorse.
