Matthew Zachary Launches MusicforCancer.com!

Musician and Cancer Survivor Launches New Website to Celebrate Music as “The Gift of Hope”

(PRWEB) December 8, 2003

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 http://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!
