What is your story? What connects you with music and why do you volunteer with MOC? My Pop-Pop was, and remains, my biggest inspiration for joining MOC. I had the opportunity to shadow a MOC Guide/Musician at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center in the Fall of 2017 through a Warner Music Nashville volunteer day. At the time, my Pop-Pop was very sick with prostate cancer. I saw him, and his spirit, in every patient I met that day and was immediately moved–I knew that I had to be part of the organization. After putting up a strong fight, my Pop-Pop passed away due to his cancer in November 2018. By volunteering with MOC, I not only get to help bring joy and healing music to others, but I’m also able to honor my Pop-Pop and keep his spirit alive.
