Students also act out scenes that highlight bravery to build self-confidence, combat bullying and encourage stronger empathy of those with hearing disabilities. Their six-minute video has Bareilles’ song playing in the background while students follow the lyrics using sign language.

Students from OCDE’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program at University High and Venado Middle School in Irvine used Sara Bareilles’ hit song “Brave” to create their own music video with the goal of inspiring bravery among students with hearing disabilities. Lizzy Hennessy is a 9-year-old patient at the hospital who was diagnosed with leukemia this summer.The theme for their music video was simple: Say what you want to say, and let the words fall out. Learn how to help these kids and others fighting pediatric cancer So with a little help, she launched 'Project Truly Brave': a musical collaboration between Sara Bareilles and Cyndi Lauper starring a beautiful and brave group of kids fighting cancer.Īll of the adorable children who helped make the collaboration special appeared on TODAY Thursday, beaming with pride after seeing the video and their performances for the first time.

That's why Hoda Kotb, herself a breast cancer survivor, felt it was so important to bring a little joy to the children being treated there. It's surprising how cheerful it can be at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, but in the battle against pediatric cancer, smiles are as important as drugs and surgery. Please put 'Shine A Light' and the code ' 1-4SL1JAR' in the memo section.
