Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Presented by Hyundai Hope On Wheels
In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Hyundai Hope On Wheels and Musicians On Call (MOC) partnered to bring the healing power of music to pediatric oncology patients, delivering hope and light during a dark time.
Hyundai Hope On Wheels’ Youth Ambassadors Emmy and Raynie met up with singer/songwriter Jax and hit songwriter Sam Hollander in New York City for a MOC Songwriting session. Together they wrote, recorded and produced “Hope Lights the Way.” With lyrics like, “It takes the sun and rain to make a rainbow / If you wanna be brave, don’t let ‘em knock you down / there’s joy and pain in every struggle / but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel,” the song is a healing anthem to inspire other pediatric patients through their battles with cancer. “Hope Lights the Way” debuted at the Hyundai Hope On Wheels annual gala in Washington, D.C. with a live performance by Jax, Emmy and Raynie. The three were presented with commemorative plaques by the Recording Industry Association of America. Special thanks to Warner Chappell, TuneCore and the Dream Adopters, “Hope Lights the Way” is available across all streaming platforms.
