Support Life

When I recently agreed to perform at Tech Tackles Cancer , the horrifying & brutal attacks in Israel hadn't yet occurred. Our world is a clearly troubled place, with so many worthy causes for our time, our attention, and our donations.

I'll admit that I have struggled with the thought of getting on stage in a few weeks and singing. But as I've reflected, I've also realized that those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do so have an obligation to support life, and to help others in need and in pain.

The causes are many and none of us can give to them all, but certainly families struggling with pediatric cancer need our support - now as much as ever.

So when I get up on stage in Cambridge in a few weeks, I'll be singing in support of finding cures for pediatric cancer, and the children and families who are struggling with it.

I'll be singing alongside other performers including TTC founder & force of nature Christopher Lynch , my friend & former colleague Patrick Osborne , Dino Cattaneo, Bob Elliott, Emily A. Iarocci, Lily McIntyre, Austin Martin, Michal Akrabi Peleg, Assoc CIPD, John Procaccini, Mark Shirman, Dave Signori, Matt Smith and Kate Strachnyi,

I'll also be singing for friends who have lost their battle with cancer (R.I.P. Christen), and for a number of other friends who are fighting their own battles.

I'll be singing for my Dad, who has been suffering from a debilitating stroke for the past 18+ months, and my Mom who has been the rock supporting him.

And I'll also be singing for the people of Israel, and the people of Ukraine. And the innocent children & families of all nations who are caught up in war.
