“When I heard the first song I was just blown away. I couldn’t believe the writing, the words, the melody … how very much ‘on’ it was. Each song has been special in its own way, helping kids let out their feelings about what’s going on at the hospital. And what a great gift; they’ve recorded
a song that documents their lives.”
David Ish, Child Life Specialist
SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center
“Kids Rock Cancer has meant so much to me.
I have written music before about my illness, but never in this way. It was an unforgettable experience! I hope that when children, adolescents and adults hear my song, especially those who are going through cancer treatment,
it will lift their spirits up!”
Brooke, a 17-year-old cancer patient
“Kids Rock Cancer was more than just fun for my son. It also helped him get through a major hurdle—wanting to put off taking his medicines. He called his song ‘The Procrastination King,’ and writing it helped him realize what he needed to do. After that, he was like a champ!”
Mother of 11-year-old James
