Leo's Story: A Courageous Teen Meets His Musical Hero


ATLANTA -- We don't normally write news stories in first person but Leo's story almost demands it. I feel the need to share how this came about.

I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine, Jean Murphy. She is a bit of an odds defeater herself, having survived both breast and lung cancer. She also loves music and she heads up the Atlanta chapter of Rock Against Cancer, a non profit group dedicated to providing music therapy to children battling cancer.

What an awesome story : )) His dream came true and some!! Donate everyone : ))
i almost cried, but i smiled all the way through this.
what an amazing story.
What a strong individual ...and hats off to Stevie Wonder's compassion. Best wishes for Leo and his family. Keep donating everyone!
wow..i can barely contain my tears.. knowing what it is like for someone to go through a battle with cancer this story really touched me..i watched it happen to my mom at a very young age... i cant bare to think of all the children out there that battle it as well.. i know it is the smallest things in life that truly heal and bring joy. and i wish more people would realize the impact you can make on other people wether they are sick or well even if its just a once in a life time you meet them..Music and love and energy are a cure to so much we seem to suffer from.. and if not a cure..then sometimes just a moment of relief from the pain.. it warms my heart to know about all these great organizations out there that help spread the love to those kids dealing with cancer.
i'm so happy for Leo that his dream came true. the power of music never fails to help people through difficult times :)
I know!! That is the reason I love INCUBUS!! Brandon's voice is just....tantalizing. Music is a big part of my life, especially INCUBUS...they have gotten me thru a lot...i sit back with my ipod and straight to incubus...i am in mental paradise...Brandon has such a beautiful mind...i can write a damn novel on how i feel about INCUBUS!! hahahaha!! ;)
