It was a cancerous brain tumor that was located in the middly of my brain, which was inoperable, and I had to do six cycles of chemotherapy. … Normal kids, they do chemotherapy for two hours for three days; I had it for 24 hours, seven days a week.
I’m going to forget about all that because today I’m going to be having the best day of my life.
That’s John’s story (which you can watch below), and he represents one of all too many excruciating situations everyday people have to endure. I promise you there’s one common thread through every one of those stories: The people used music to get through it.
For John, that music was The Devil Wears Prada. The band has announced they’ll be headlining the 2014 Sub City Take Action Tour to help aid in situations like John’s all across the United States. Support will come from 8:18 tourmates The Ghost Inside, plus I Killed the Prom Queen and Danger Kids.
The tour benefits the Living The Dream Foundation, a non-profit organization that hooks up children with life threatening diseases with the experience of a lifetime.
