Even though millions of people are affected by cancer on a daily basis, it’s tough to understand it until it happens to you or someone close to you.
Pierre’s brother Jay was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 28. Thankfully, his cancer is in remission now, but it inspired us to include cancer awareness as one of the initiatives of the Simple Plan Foundation. All proceeds from each download sale of our new single, “Save You” – which was written in tribute to Jay – will be distributed through our foundation to cancer charities around the world. Check out the video below!
So, where do you come in? We want to hear about how cancer has affected you or someone you know in your life and give you a chance to talk to us about it. We also want to tell you personally how the song “Save You” came about.
If you want the chance to interview us, send an email over to Think MTV at think@mtv.com with your full name, age, e-mail address, phone number and time you can be reached, and tell us in 200 words on why raising cancer awareness is important to you. If you’re selected, we’ll call you for an interview with us on Tuesday, November 25. After the interview, we want you to blog about our conversation, where it will be featured on think.mtv.com!
