Sierra is Kicking Cancer in the Rear!

My dear sweet cousin Sierra has recently been recently diagnosed with rectal cancer. The treatment has been super intense and now she faces a 14 hour surgery to remove the cancer and add a colostomy bag. She has kept super high spirits and has been so strong. We are proud of her and wanted to help as best we could.
We put on a concert with the organization skills of my cousin Savanna (Sierra's older sister) and were able to raise a few thousand dollars to help with medical and treatment costs. Not only was it amazing to be able to support Sierra but it was also a great opportunity to sing with my sweetie again. The quality isn't great, but I know there aren't many who have really heard Joe sing, so here it is for your view pleasure!
Sierra and i had always been fairly close friends because we are so close in age, but we became really close when Sierra and I both fed our passion of jazz music through our college group, Vocal Union. So to reminisce and enjoy I also sang a jazz piece special for her.
We are so glad we were able to be a big part of your day and hope your surgery goes perfectly and you recover quickly. Love you Sierra! You've got this!
