1. What Do Cancer And Children Have In Common? Hope
September 1, 1980: The Marathon of Hope ends when Terry Fox can go no farther. Terry was born
on July 28, 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and raised near Vancouver on the west coast of Canada. He
was an avid sports enthusiast and played soccer, rugby, baseball, basketball, and participated in
competitive diving. He won many awards and medals. His friends and coaches were impressed by
his stamina and endurance along with his willingness to improve his skills by hours and hours of
practice.
100 percent of the money sponsors donate goes directly to Texas Children's Hospital. There is an
interface for your sponsors to make credit card or check card donations, as well as a way for you to
register gifts that you personally collect in your local area.
During a visit to a children's hospital, I had the opportunity to provide massage for a young patient
experiencing repetitive treatment for Retinoblastoma (childhood eye cancer). Retinoblastoma can be
very scary to both the child and family.

JH: It's three-part goal: 1. Give artists something good to do while on or off the road--something to
fill their Downtime, 2. To make a difference for whatever cause they've been paired with, and 3. To
encourage and mobilize fans towards action--to try to get them to go from hearing about a cause, to
actually participating in whatever it is the artist is doing.
Coupling artists with these relevant organizations brings a great amount of attention and fan
support to causes that need all the backing they can get. Downtime began with a simple idea: Get
bands involved with causes that interest them while they have free time. Harren, having been
around plenty of bands throughout his career, knew that bands do indeed have a lot of free time.
Through their connection with Downtime, bands can promote the cause(s) they choose via Facebook
pages, during concerts and by spreading the word to their fan base while on the road. They can also
volunteer when they are not touring. Downtime allows artists to use their power for good.
JH: We would love to do that! The plan is to start having a presence at existing festivals and events
(CMJ, SXSW etc), and eventually have our own--one step at a time!
