Musicality Matters: Tunes to Target Cancer

Cancer is a disease that affects everyone. Whether you're fighting your own battle, or know someone who has suffered in it's wake, it will change your life forever. My grandmother lost her life to breast cancer, and I have a brother in-law who is currently fighting TCell Lymphoma, which is a form of Leukemia. Feeling helpless while people that are close to you suffer can be beyond frustrating, but finding a way to help is easier than you may think.

While sitting at my chiropractor's office scanning through an "Energy Times" magazine, I came across an article describing a way to help cancer research by downloading music. The Right Track: Tunes to Target Cancer was started by a gentleman named Paul Poth. At the age of 38 he was diagnosed with hepatobiliary duct cancer, a rare form of the fatal disease. He soon realized that even the top oncologists lacked information & insight into this type of cancer. It was poorly researched, if at all, and there just simply were no funds dedicated to researching his rare form. During his 2 year fight he was put through various treatments, as there was no protocol for his diagnosis. He stayed optimistic and was able to turn his will to fight and love of music into a company called TargetCancer, Inc.
