Hello everyone,

I know its been a long time, but I have to tell you something that happened on Dec 22nd and would like for you to be apart of. It has changed the lives of thousands and I was so lucky to be involved. I included a link to the story below.

An 8 year old child, from my hometown of Reading, Pa has a rare form of cancer. 2 of her last wishes came true. 1)to get to meet Taylor Swift, who was overseas and gave her some video chat and 2) to have people caroling outside her home. On Dec 22nd, 10,000 people showed up at her house to sing to her. It was a massive event. I wrote a song for her and the family love it. It may not be the perfectly written song, but today it puts a smile on the face of an eight old that is nothing less than an angel.

Since Sunday, her facebook likes went through the roof to over 100,000 likes. love is contagious, but this is only the begining

Since her family loves this song, I'd love for everyone that gets this message to cover it, own the song, make your version, make a video and send it out there to inspire more to come together. I am not looking to make a single cent on this what so ever.

Here's the quote I read from her mother that inspired the song...

"Today we were told the worst news of our lives. Laney has 70% cancer cells in her blood. If they would treat the cancer the virus that she has would kill her. And if they treat the virus the cancer will kill her.
They gave her a couple days to a couple weeks to live.
My heart is breaking. I sit here looking at her face trying to remember every contour of it, I breath deeply ...against her skin trying to always remember her smell. Every time she speaks I try to listen for the different way she says certain words so that I never forget. I keep putting my lips against her warm skin because I never want to forget how that feels. I'm devastated and I'm hoping that I will wake up from this nightmare.
We told Laney and she said she wanted to be the one to tell Kylee and Jacob. She told Jacob that when she's gone he is to be a good big brother to Kylee. And she thanked Kylee for being a great sister and her best friend. They all cried in each other's arms. I have never felt this type of pain in my life.
We will be taking her home on hospice tomorrow and will be trying to let her have as much fun as she can handle. We will watch her blow out her eighth birthday candels knowing that she won't have a ninth. We will also ask Santa to come early this year because Laney has been such a good girl. Please pray for Laney and our family. Please pray for a miracle. We will be spending every second with her till God decides he needs another beautiful angel up in heaven."

Here's the original video: with lyrics included. When I recorded this I was on the edge of tears. my voice breaks, my meter it goofy, but I make my point. LETS DO THIS!

After making YOUR VERSION, send the link to me and friend TEAM LANEY on facebook. again, Im not asking any money just your talent and time!
