Love Hope Strength

At Love Hope Strength we turn concerts into lifesaving events. Through our GET ON THE LIST campaign we register marrow donors resulting in matches from concerts around the world. Through unique events, like Everest Rocks and Kilimanjaro Rocks, we build cancer centers, giving people access to early detection and quality cancer care.

Testimonials

"Short of having my children and falling blissfully in love, this has been the single most moving, humbling, difficult and positive experience of my life." ~ Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze, Everest Rocks, Fuji Rocks, Kilimanjaro Rocks participant

"I hope I never complain about anything ever again. I've felt aches and pains while watching porters carry massive wooden poles wearing flip-flops." ~ Jamie West Oram, The Fixx, Everest Rocks participant

"I thought it would be an amazing opportunity to give back to an incredible organization, but had no clue it would be as emotional of a trip as it was. We had a great time climbing Mt. Fuji, and even though my legs hurt for days afterward, it was one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life. I am so excited to stay involved with this organization and continue to help them in the fight against cancer." ~Donavon Frankenreiter, Fuji Rocks, Kauai Rocks participant

"The success of Love Hope Strength at 3 years is where LiveSTRONG was at 7 years" ~ Senior Manager, LiveSTRONG.

"Words fail. Though I can say I feel at peace and an awesome sense of accomplishment. You have my eternal and sincere gratitude."~ Robin Wilson, The Gin Blossoms, having just completed Kilimanjaro Rocks.

"A friend of mine just sent me a link to your site and I was really impressed. I watch the documentary on the Everest trip (amazing). I am a two time Leukemia survivor who just got a Bone Marrow Transplant on July 26th. Your work to raise awareness and sign people up makes a difference. My donor was at a similar event in January of this year and decided to join the registry. Thankfully she did because she was a perfect match. I am now 70 days post transplant and feeling great." ~ Glenn, transplant recipient

"Please let James know my girlfriend's mother lost her battle with Cancer Sunday. She was 69 years old. She is wearing the Love Hope Strength wristband in the casket, she wore it every day since I gave it to her." ~ Joe, cancer supporter

"Hello Mr. Chippendale, My mom and I met you at the More To Live For premiere at Highland Park in Dallas last year. I'm not sure if you still remember me but my then 6-year- old brother had leukemia and I was his donor (I was 12 years old). I am now 13. Anyway, the reason I am writing you is that I am doing a research paper for my class and would like to get a hold of a copy of the documentary. I am hoping through this, I can bring awareness among my peers. Please let me know where I can find the dvd or if you have an extra copy I would love to get a hold of one. Thank you for helping raise awareness for bone marrow registry. I think highly of your work and commend your generosity. You have truly been a role model for kids like me and I hope that someday I can grow up to be the man that you are. Thanks, J"
