  About the CrowdCare Foundation The CrowdCare Foundation (www.crowdcare.org) provides research funding, patient advocacy and support for cancer and rare life-threatening diseases. It also hosts radio shows where top researchers are interviewed about the latest in research, treatments, side-effects and clinical trials. The Foundation is poised to begin raising funds using a new crowd funding model to support promising clinical trials advancing new treatments and cures for such diseases.   About Jenny Ahlstrom Jenny Ahlstrom is a wife and mom of 6 who was diagnosed at the age of 43 with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. Currently in remission, she believes that patient involvement and novel approaches are needed to accelerate the pace of new, curative therapies, especially in rare cancers and other orphan diseases. “As I went through two stem cell transplants, music was a lifeline that helped me get through,” says Ahlstrom, myeloma survivor and founder of the Songs For Life contest. “Now that I’m in remission, it’s time to give back. This is a powerful and fun way for musicians to promote their songs and talent, while making a meaningful difference in the pace of new cancer discoveries."   ###
