Party2Life is a non-profit organization that raises hope and funds for cancer patients through music.

Music As Therapy

Music's impact is immeasurable. No matter which era you grew in up, popular music is often referred to as the sound track of our lives.

When I was being treated for head and neck cancer, the odds were against me especially given the severe side-effects of chemo. To help me get through the debilitating hours of treatment, I created a playlist of my favorite songs that I listened to during radiation. These were songs I could get lost in, that had connections to better days in my life, and could always lift my spirits during the worst of times. By uplifting the spirit, the will to fight and the will to survive are both fortified.

I went through a particularly grueling 7 weeks of treatment and was short on patience. Despite being surrounded by loving people who tried to comfort me, the greatest comfort I received was from music. Hope is the key to survival and using music to recall memories of youthful invincibility helped me beat cancer. I want to share that same strength and encouragement with you which is why I started Party2Life.
