Background info:

Originally commissioned by Nancy G. Brinker , founder and CEO of Komen for the Cure, "Sing for the Cure" is a musical journey that takes listeners through the myriad of emotions experienced by breast cancer victims and their loved ones.

Sing for the Cure had its world premiere on June of 2000 with renowned poet laureate Maya Angelou narrating. Ten years on, the universal message of hope for the cure transcends cultural, language and political barriers as the music embodies the pain, struggles, hope and humor of dealing with a disease for which there is still no cure.
