IN HONOR: A Compilation To Beat Cancer

Here is something that your money is worth. This is a 2-disc compilation set filled with artists such as Thursday, Thrice, The Bouncing Souls, My Chemical Romance, Saves the Day and many many others. I bought this cd on pre-order awhile ago after reading about it on one of my favorite bands websites, Thursday.net. Thursday placed one of their tracks on the 2 disc set aswell as many many other artists with unreleased tracks.

I really think this cd set is important and should be purchased for a couple of reasons. One, last year my cousin fought through cancer. He was in 8th grade when diagnosed. When I first heard that he had cancer I was crushed. I thought “how could my little cousin contract such a horrible sickness at such a young age?”

The truth is, cancer knows no age, race, or gender. Anybody can be diagnosed with cancer which makes it such a deadly and horrible sickness. As for my cousing, after about 10 months of kemotherepy and treatment as well as being in and out of the hospital all the time, he was healed of cancer. My family, and close friends faith in God helped us get through it all, hoping and praying that he would be healed. He was blessed enough to live on, others are not. Many others have passed away from cancer and this cd helps those diagnosed with cancer. Whether it be helping out families financially, or donating funds to organizations that research and try to find more cures for all the cancer types.

My second reason is that this cd is 2 full discs of good music from maybe some of your favorite artists. It’s a win-win situation. You donate money to help fight cancer, and get a really good cd set to add to your music collection.

Here’s a short blurb of info about the compilation:

This compilation was created by Vagrant employee Timmy Hansell after losing his mother to breast cancer. The double-CD compilation includes a majority of previously unreleased recordings and all gross proceeds will be split equally between two cancer-related foundations– The Syrentha Savio Endowment (SSE) and The Sean McGrath Fund.
