California in the summer.

Listening to: Jack's Mannequin // Holiday From Real

Watching this rekindled my love for Andrew McMahon's music.
The man is a freaking genius.

One can't even imagine the pain he's had to endure throughout his entire ordeal.
And for him to be giving back to the public, is an extremely noble deed, indeed.

I remember putting up web banners asking people to pray for him back in 2005 and wanting one of those bright orange "I Will Fight" bands.

I only wish I could do so much more than that.

Maybe this might make a difference by educating the public about the world and the people who live in it.

The Dear Jack Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to funding cancer research and was founded July 2006 by leukemia survivor and Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate front man Andrew McMahon. "Having fought my own battle with Leukemia I feel an intense personal obligation to use whatever resources are at my disposal to raise both money and awareness for the countless young people who are being diagnosed with similar blood diseases. I hope to focus attention on the grossly understudied demographic of cancer patients falling between the ages of 15 and 22. It is also my hope to use the Dear Jack fund to provide outreach and assistance to families coping with cancer" says McMahon.

The primary beneficiaries of the Dear Jack Foundation are the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (www.pcrf-kids.com), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (www.leukemia.org) & The Regents of the University of California.

I can't wait for the documentary to be released.
That and JM's new album, "The Glass Passenger".

I bet it's going to be epic.
Absolutely epic.

The man took 3 years to write it. It's bound to be.
