It takes a specific set of skills to build a strong rapport with patients and assist in the songwriting process. Jeilon was the 38th of over 1400 Kids Rock Cancer participants since 2009.” Check out the first song he wrote: goo.gl/h1zVkz #sicklencellanemia @KRCancer

“When I got admitted to the hospital, my mom and brother would visit, but my mom had to work, so she wasn’t always there. One afternoon, Tracie came in talking about @KRCancer and asked if I wanted to make a song. ‘Sure. I’m not doing anything else...’” #sicklecellanemia

“It’s not purposeful discrimination, but because there’s a lack of education about the effects of sickle cell.I t’s different than cancer. When you see a kid with cancer, they might not have any hair and they look sick...” goo.gl/52f87T #sicklecellanemia @KRCancer
