Survivor Launches New Website to Celebrate Music as “The
Gift of Hope”
New York, NY. Matthew Zachary, 29, is a popular recording
artist and pediatric brain cancer survivor whose miraculous
recovery and incredible musical gifts have encouraged
thousands worldwide not to lose hope when faced with
catastrophe or illness. His two successful albums of
acoustic piano solos, directly inspired by his battle with
illness, offer listeners a beautiful and lively blend of
Jazz, Classical and New Age-inspired compositions. Now these
albums will inspire others in a brand-new way, thanks to a
new website celebrating music as the “gift of hope”:
MusicForCancer.com.
With its moving solo piano instrumentals reflecting the
emotions of hope, courage and the journey to survival,
Matthew’s bestselling first solo release Scribblings is a
powerful and spiritually healing tribute to cancer patients
and survivors alike. His second solo release, Every Step of
the Way, is an equally evocative musical journey back into
life and health. Now MusicforCancer.com highlights their
inspiration into one simple, easy-to-navigate direct website
that offers links to helpful resources in support of music
and healing, and which integrates seamlessly with Matthew
Zachary’s official site at www.MatthewZachary.com.
MusicForCancer.com celebrates the power of music to provide
inspiration and comfort to those who may be in need, and a
portion of all proceeds will go to various worthy cancer
charities, including The National Coalition for Cancer
Survivorship, the Melissa’s Living Legacy Foundation, and
many more. Within 24 hours of launch, the site has already
generated thousands of clicks from across the globe.
Hailed as “soothing and joyous” by The American Cancer
Society, Matthew’s music has been called “musical medicine,”
“inspiration therapy,” and “hope on CD” by listeners
everywhere. And to celebrate the launch of
MusicForCancer.com, both Scribblings and Every Step of the
Way are on sale for the special holiday price of only $10
each – or for a further specially reduced package price of
$17 for both. The albums are the perfect stocking stuffers
for those looking to celebrate hope, courage, and survival,
and a must for any music-lover’s collection – for the 2003
holiday season and beyond!
