“I’m sorry, Simple Plan are not going to be able to call you tomorrow…They want to meet you backstage at their gig on Saturday night!”
In June 2007 I was told by my mum and dad that my dad had unoperable stomach cancer. At this time I had just overcome some bullies at school and I thought I was finally taking a step forward in my life, but as they say, I took one step forward and two steps back…
From then on my Dad stopped going to work and spent more and more time at home. But I didn’t start to notice the change until that Christmas. There was one last girl I had to sort out at school and my dad had been helping me and coaching me through it telling me how to present my self in a polite yet “get the hell out my life” sort of way!
Just before Christmas 2007 my dad told me that the chemo he was having wasn’t helping and was only making his body weaker. He decided to have no medical treatment as anything else the doctors could give him wouldn’t definitely work. This was massive and I couldn’t pretend I was fine any longer. I became quite depressed and didn’t really enjoy things or school. I thought the world was against me.
My dad and I were very close but during this time, I started listening to really deep, dark music. And I don’t remember how, but some how I started listening to a band called Simple Plan. The first time I heard them was when their song came on in the film Cheaper By The Dozen and I loved it! But this time I was really listening to the music and I could relate every song and every word to my life in some way. From the moment I started listening to Simple Plan I loved them! The songs are mostly upbeat but at the same time have SOO much meaning to them.
In March 2008 I took about a week off school to spend time with my dad. At the beginning of this week, Simple Plan’s new album came out. I got the album and started listening to it straight away. I heard this one song, called “Save You”, and the lyrics were “Sometimes I just wish I could save you”. As soon as I had listened to the album and decided what I thought of it, I took it to my dad and let him listen. I said, “Dad these lyrics are exactly how I feel towards you” - at this time he was now bedridden and we had been told he could die any day.
I spent my days listening to Simple Plan, I jumped at every opportunity to talk about them or to tell people how great they are or to listen to them, I felt really close to the band, even though they had no idea I exsisted. Over the week I had off school I chatted to my dad about music and lyrics and we spent time talking about Simple Plan and what we both thought of their lyrics. Simple Plan’s lyrics saved me from this time, I’m not sure what I would have done without them.
In my computer lessons in school I decided to create a website about Simple Plan, I read up on them and got all their details on how they formed etc. I signed up to their offical website fan thing, I wasn’t really sure but they sent me emails every once in a while to tell me about up and coming events and competition. I never enter their competitions because Simple Plan are an American based band so I didn’t think I had any chance in winning.
One day I saw the subject of an email from Simple Plan saying “Win an Interview with Simple Plan”. I read it and it told me that the song “Save You” was written for Pierre’s brother because he had cancer. I did some research and found out Simple Plan were raising lots of money for cancer charities world wide. This just told me AGAIN how amazing they are. To enter the competition you had to email in and tell them how cancer had affected you. I didn’t see any chance in winning so I wrote in 200 words and didn’t think much of it.
Next thing I know Pete from MTV is on the phone telling me Simple Plan are going to call me tomorrow at 3. I said I was at school and so he said he would talk to the band and see what he could do. He called back and said it wasn’t possible for the band to call me tomorrow and I honestly thought I had ruined my chances. But he said they wanted to meet me at their gig on Saturday night! I was SOOOO excited. I even managed to get 4 tickets, for my mum and two sisters. This meant more than anything to me because I felt SUCH a connection with the band and I had told my dad many times I wanted to meet them and talk to them about their lyrics.
So when I went along on Saturday we walked up to their dressing room and I got to chat to them and take some pictures. I asked Pierre how he came up with the lyrics and he told me, the whole room was silent and Pierre, the man I had been most longing to talk to, was talking to me, ME! But David the bass guitarist wasn’t there but I didn’t mind, I had a signed paper plate and pictures with the band! Then we went down stairs and “bumped” into the support bands, as well as getting lost and nearly walking onto the stage!
The show was FANTASTIC I loved EVERY minute of it. They all play with such power and meaning. I just felt SOOO MUCH more closer to them now that I had met them. Then they came to play Save You. David said he wanted to say some words so he spent quite a while explaining he had missed an autograph signing and he was sorry but he had just been told his sister was ill and he was getting him mum on a flight from canada and then they were going on to Paris. He was soo nice and said he would sign everybody’s autograph after the show. Pierre then said thats cool this song goes out to The Gleeson Family and his brother and David’s sister I imideiately burst into tears. I couldn’t believe all this was happening to me. After the show I queued up to get David to sign my paper plate next to the rest of the band. He gave me MASSIVE hug and an awesome chat. It was so amazing and he was really cheery and nice.
This just showed me dreams can come true and when life is tough just keep on walking because everyone get their chance to be happy! Now I know for sure my dad is always listening, because he passed away the week after I took off school, on Monday March 17th and this is a massive sign before christmas for me to know he’s here. I know he got me 4 back stage passes to meet and see Simple Plan on Saturday 29th November 2008 and that is something I will NEVER forget.
If anyone learns anything from this, it should be to never give up and keep on trying as long as there’s hope there’s life.

I read that on MySpace *-*
It’s so amazing <33
She’s so strong and… I don’t know if I would’ve dealt with that the way she did. And you know what is the most beautiful and awesome thing? That YOU guys helped her through that. That really blows my mind.
I hope David’s sister will be fine <3

I’m so sorry she had to go through that. Any family or person who can get through that kind of thing is insanely amazing. That was really good of you guys to meet her. You guys are amazing.
And best wishes to your sister David.
Love Brianna
December 17th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I knew there was a reason why I loved you guys so much. It’s because you’re always giving back to your fans (: There’s so much in you’re songs that they just hook people and don’t let them go. When everything else has let go of them, you’re songs hold onto them and keep them holding on.
This poor girl…my heart goes out to her. I’m sorry to hear about what she had to go through but also glad that you guys were her guiding light in this dark time in her life. You help so many people without even realizing it. I’m glad she won this competition, she definitely deserved it
I’m proud to be a Simple Plan fan
always and forever a fan,
Rianna
P.S. David, I hope your sister gets better soon…
December 17th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Hi!!!

You guys are AWESOME
I LOVE YOU SoOoOoOo MUCH <3
December 17th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

I’m glad she managed to find solace in your music, and that things are going well for her.
Like I’ve said before, thank you for writing Save You, it’s helped alot of people, including me if not with dealing with someone dying of cancer, to become more aware of it and what it can do to a family.
thanks

December 18th, 2008 at 9:00 am
what an incredible story… i can totally relate,my story is pretty much the same, just that i never met simple plan, but i was on their concert and when they came on stage i started crying… amazing feeling. i’m so happy for you
and i’m also very sorry for your loss. but you’ll be fine, i know you will. we have simple plan 
amazing work guys!
December 18th, 2008 at 9:05 am
That has to be one of the most sadest, yet inspiring stories I have ever read!!!
I am now sitting here at work (a Doctors’ Surgery) almost in tears!!
It just helps you to keep faith in people and that no matter how bad things become, how hopelessly dark they can be, there is light in the end.
I was at THAT concert in London with my father. Both of us have had Cancer. My Dad - Prostate. Myself - Cervical. When “SAVE YOU” came on, I reminded my father about how the song came about. The pair of us held each others hands very tightly and it was a very special moment for both of us!!
Simple Plan just prove again and again that they are not your ‘average band’ in ANY way!!!!!
Their charity work is so inspiring and overwhelming!! Even if you are not oa fan of their music (you would have to be insane) you have to give them respect for their endless hard work ‘behind the scenes’!!
My prayers go out to that young lady and her family - she truely is a special person!!!
Keep doing the good work Simple Plan - you REALLY do make a difference to peoples lives!!!!!
Always,
Jennie
xx
PS - I hope David’s sister is over the worst!!xx
December 18th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I know this girl, she’s a good friend of mine and she deserved this SO much! She’s such an amazing person and was SO happy when she found out she could meet them
December 18th, 2008 at 10:14 am
hi…
that was a really beuatiful story, and I think it’s very brave of you to tell it.
Its good, that you keept up your good mood, and yes, simple plans songs really help.
my sister went through an bus accident, shes still alive, but it was the hardest thing in my life. stuff like that, really makes you realize things.
-Julia from Denmark.
December 18th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Hello,
I admire the girl for how tough and strong she has been during the past few months. It’s so hard to lose a person so close to you (I lost about 5 people that were close to me), but losing your dad is something that’s even more hard.
And it’s true that, how hard and dark times might be, there’s always a light at the end. Just try to reach it and be willing to reach it. I’m so proud of you, srsly.
And guys, thank you. Thank you for being there for your fans even though you don’t really realise how much people you have already helped and how many people you still help. You always get us through the toughest times thanks to your song. I’m so grateful. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And Victoria: I’m very sorry about you dad. Your story made me cry and made me realise even more that life is way to short. Enjoy every second of it, how hard is sometimes may be. I’m sure your dad is with you and he’ll be your guardian angel. I’m proud of you even you don’t know me. I’m also very thankful that you’re the person who met them thanks to this competition: you deserve it so much!
Much Love, Jolien (the Netherlands).
December 18th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Hey…
Wow! That’s such a beautiful story!!!
Yeah… Simple Plan songs make sense… and their lyrics help a lot!
So, Guys, you’re definately THE BEST…
Keep doing good things in this world!
I love you!!!
December 18th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Hello..
I really admire (I know, comment 45 said it too, but I admire her too) that girl(sorry, I don’t know her name..). I’d never lost someone who had cancer, but I lost someone I still miss.. And he decided to go, if you know what I mean….
I don’t wanna put the spotlight on my story or comment, but I wanna say that I’m feeling sorry for everbody with a terrible hard story.. And sometimes it is good to feel sorry for yourself..

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say something to the guys.. And that is: Thank you..!

December 18th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Wow, that was such a great story… one that I can relate to also…
I share the same story–my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer and was under chemo for about a year and a half until it came time about early November when he couldn’t handle it anymore and decided to spend the rest of his days at home.. On the 25th, his life gave out on his deathbed in the living room.. That was in 2006.
I find it funny how my brother heard “Save You” and he text my phone to download it. When I heard the song, I wanted to find out whether it was a new album or not.. pondering upon the Simple Plan profile. It’s rare that I believe in coincidences, but I believe God directed me to this song and this website. Maybe it’s to remind me of the Christmas spirit and to never give up believing in myself…
Thank you Simple Plan….
December 18th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Wow. That a great history! It makes me cry :’)
This history has a little shared with my, but my Dad died unexpectedly, February 17th 2008 r.
“dreams can come true and when life is tough just keep on walking because everyone get their chance to be happy” - Very much I like this sentence.
! I apologize for my bad english :/
I LOVE you guys more than everything! Thanks for all.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Wow this was an instance story, i almost cry.
I fell so sorry for you(the girl from the story), but this story shows us how AMAZING simple plan really is.
I’m just proud more and more to support SP.
And with that note i just wanna wish David sister the best..
Love you guys a lot!
Or, Israel.

Simple Plan saves life. And because of them I’m still here.
Sorry for my bad english (:

Yeah, they’re really amazing. This whole thing seems so bitter sweet. I mean you got to meet Simple Plan xD but your dad passed away. When there’s a death in my family it’s usually from cancer :’(
December 18th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Wow, I barely know what to say about this story. Really, really nice, the boy must have passed through very difficult situations, but I can understand him at least a little. In my childhood I spent a lot of difficulties, was taken from my four and five years old, my biological father died when I was only five years, I do not remember him much, but the image was that was when he was in a bed, patient, appeared smiling at me, he did not speak anything, I think he could not. Until today I remember it, sometimes I get excited, I almost have no shortage of memories of him, because what I remember most is that day, where he was in a bed, sick. I have always loved Simple Plan, their music always had something in common with what was happening to me, or what happened. When the new album came out, I asked my dad to buy it, he bought, I already knew all the songs, listened all day and the song “Save You” reminds me a lot of my biological father, “Sometimes I wish I could save you “, this phrase is that most touches the heart of someone who identifies with the music. I think we all have to have something that we support in the most difficult situations in our lives, we all have problems, but if you have something, or someone who supports us, we can do that with these situations are not so bad with us or with people next to us, is a little easier. But we all have to help us, is being increasingly sad about the situation, we are in even more damaging, we must resist, be strong, because everything will pass, we have to think of good things, remember the beautiful moments we spent, and think the possibility of other events. The attitude of you, boys, was very beautiful, knowing the boy and his family, offering the support of you all and affection they need, even knowing them, there, at that time, was an act that will certainly never forget them, no Only they, like me, and all others who read that story. I wish that the boy and his family, excessive force, think positive, do not give up, give everything right, what has to happen, will happen, remember that there will always be people, as the boys of Simple Plan, which will help with a only interest, the interest of seeing you well and happy. I hope that everything gonna work.
For you guys, the Simple Plan, like all good, continue with these wonderful people ever, I love you from the bottom of my heart.

December 19th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Wow , I’m sorry about your dad ..
I know how it is to see someone suffering from cancer , my mom had it when I was 4.. I didn’t understood it then, but every time someone says something about cancer I have to think about it, how lucky I am that my mom’s still here .
Kinda weird, I just found out that I was listening to save you while typing this .
I really had tears in my eyes , and I’m really sorry about your dad .
Luckily pierre’s brother survived ..
I think save you is the most intense and meaningful song.
I hope david’s sister is better now ..
I love you simple plan !
Lots of love,
Amber.

Wow. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIMPLE PLAN! You have brought joy to ALL your fans. You guys are just AMAZING.
And to the girl, I’m sorry about here father. I’d cry to death if that happened to me. But to see and meet Simple Plan the way she did is just way beyond AMAZING!

December 19th, 2008 at 7:54 am
wouu you guys.. i mean i just can’t understand that you can be so polite, helpful and thoughtful always! i’ve never known anyone who is less selfish than you guys. of course when pierre’s brother had a cancer it helped you to understand how perishable life can be, but really, you are unbelievable. i don’t know how to describe my feelings, how to dress them into words and “i love you” sounds too meaningless, you hear that all the time. soo im from finland, and i decided to say that in finnish ’cause it sounds much more important ’cause we don’t use it as often as english people use “i love you”
MINÄ RAKASTAN TEITÄ
thank you for EVERYTHING, i don’t know where i would be without you, your songs, your lyrics and YOU, you help me to manage in life. you’re the third important thing in my life, right after my dad and my sister.
we miss you in finland, you are always desirable here <3
December 19th, 2008 at 9:58 am
what happen to David’s sister??
December 19th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Oi, Geez.
I have never met Simple Plan… I wish I had.. You guys are just so insiring! Its unbelievable! My eyes are just filled with tears. What a touching story, so sad too. In some ways I can relate.
I hope everyone is well, David I hope your sister is OKAY,! <3
All your songs are just soo touching, they are meaningful, and have some kinda of story behind them. I love them, and I’m sure everyone does. My friend and I saw you guys August 28th, … when you came to ottawa,
.. Great stuff. Hope you guys come again soon!! You’re amazing, <3 
xx Best Wishes,

I LOVE U GUYS
(sorry for my terrible english..but I’m from Italy)
December 19th, 2008 at 10:52 am
wow, that is so cool…. it’s a fantastic story!!! But i Realize, that when other people say that you got to go on and never give up - you don’t believe it. You have to see it yourself - see that it actually gets better… I’m feeling down right now - and even if the whole world told me that it will get better - i wouldn’t believe it. Cause i have too feel it myself - feel that it gets better… and i’m so off topic I know…. anyways, it was a beautiful story, and SP is really the best band in the world!

Hey Guys,
that is an amazing story, i’m in tears.
hope you guys have a good Christmas!
December 19th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
WOW! That is incridible (sorry I can’t spell)! She is a really tough girl.
She is really great and I’m glad that she got to meet you guys.Seems she was going through a lot so I’m glad you guys wanted to “chat” with her! You guys are super great! I’m glad you guys wrote and made “Save You”. It is really starting to mean a lot to me now. Two reasons.
Sorry about your dad Victoria he sounded like a great guy. Also, I hope David’s sis gets better soon. I Love You Simple Plan And Always Will! You Rock!
1.That story was so awesome I have a whole different outlook on things and the song.
2. My great grandma just had a heart attack a couple weeks ago,was in the hospital, and is now in the hospital again. I know it’s probably nothing like cancer (I don’t know ), but my grandma might die soon and that is gonna really hurt. We are really close and I’m sooooo sick of stupid funerals. But I wish something could go right and turn out in a positive way. But lately nothing has been working out for me so I feeel really hopeless. But I am just gonna listen to Simple Plan and try to keep up with everything and everyone. Thank You SP for caring and making great music. I’m crying now so I’m just gonna start thinking happy things.
Thanks again you guys for being awesome!

Wow ! j’en ai le souffle coupé
cette histoire est si incroyable! Mes larmes ont coulées lorsque je suis arivés au bout. C’est triste mais en même temps merveilleux! Je trouve sa tellement magnifique de voir qu’un groupe peut redonner le sourire. On se croit être au fond du gouffre et pourtant le rayon de soleil parvient toujours à nous illuminer. Cette histoire m’a ému comme elle m a donné le sourire. Un groupe ayant autant de coeur et qui réussit à redonner gout à la vie j’appelle sa tout simplement du talent.
Simple Plan .. 3 fois que je vous ai vu. 3 soirées inoubliables. 3 albums incroyables. 3 shows grandioses. 1 rencontre mémorables. un groupe. 3 mots:
JE VOUS AIMES !

December 20th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Wen i was finsihed reading this story, i had tears. and i learnt a new powerful, strong message, “as long as there’s hope, there’s life.”
i cried after. I coouldnt tell if it was sad tears are just relieved tears of joy.
This story meant so much more then a ’story’ it was a message ive been longing to hear (besides when Save You came out) But this, this was something i needed. Something i didnt know was waiting for me to reach. And now im sitting here, relieved.
I’ve had family problems since i was in grade 4, so that would of made me 8 or 10. It all started wlaking home from school, and walking into my house with noises of my sister screaming. i went to check wat was wrong, and saw my dad over her. I almost cried, but i was to shocked becuz i knew wat was happening. So i ran out my house, and to my freinds house i went and stayed there the whole night, scared to death.
The next day came, and we went to school and everything. When it came to school ended, my friend asked me if i was going to be ok walking home, of course i wasnt, but i said i would be fine. So i went home and thankfully nothing happened. A few days past with fighting and screaming and cursing, and everything, but no one noticed the pain they were causing, and no one ever talked about what was going on.
I finaly came across, one day, the stupid T.V show, Dr.Phill (the only reason why its stupid is because it gave me a wrong idea). This one girl on the show was hurting herself for the damage in her family and friends. It gave me the idea i could do the same (which i did for a week). Then i heard a band on the radio, in the car while going to my friends house, called, Perfect. When i got to my friends house, i went straight to the computer and typed in Perfect. i got to hear it, and i cried the second i heard it. Right by the very first word, i related my life, my feelings, my thoughts, EVERYTHING! My friend new right away that Simple Plan were my saviors from myself then on.
After a few days, i begged my mom to bring me to go get their first C.D, which she did thank god. The moment i got it, i put it in the C.D player and listened to it in my own world. My mom never understood how much it meant to me, but after awhile, things got really bad, my dad got kicked out, my parents got seperated (not divorced), and then on, i havent seen my dad really. But while the years have past. My dad has gotten sick. That just brought more pain and stress on to me as it was having to deal with the fact my life sucked already as it was. But then i heard simple plan had another C.D coming, and i died to hear what was on that C.D, so when Still Not Getting Any… came out, i got it right away, and Welcome To My life and Crazy and Untitled, where my new songs of the year.
I finally got so stressed i had to tell my mom what was wrong and how i felt. I sat here down and made her listen to the first album and second. She almost cried, which i never meant to happen. But she needed to know how i felt and still feel. Now, their third album came out, and she knew that was going to be another meeting, which there was. Since grade 4, i’ve been listening to Simple Plan to get me threw this whole crazy world. And my mom understood after what they meant to me. Now, i never had the experience like that girl did, with that miracle, when she got to have a interview with them, but i got to see them live, and that was liek seeing my dad and my mom happy together all over again, and it meant the world to me!
Im 14 now, turning 15 in January, and i still run to Simple Plan for my strength. That whole story i read just a few minutes ago, changed my christmas, my hope, my life. Thank you to who ever you are, and i hope you see this if not, just know your story changed my life for ever. <3
Now for Pierre, David, Seb, Chuck, and Jeff, Simple Plan….You’ll always be in my heart, and my strength.
Remember ! “As long as there’s hope, there’s life.”

I know i already left a comment. But I just think I didn’t really say why I love Simple Plan. Which I don’t know why I’m commenting a 2nd time, it’s kinda stupid but I have to put it out there. I have liked (I MEAN LOVED) and listened to Simple Plan since there debut album in 2002. I was only 3 and really loved them. I have been growing up around hard rock really just music all my life. My brother and dad play guitar and i try and sing. Anyways, I only have their debut album (I love the name! No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls! oh yeah thats AWESOME!) and I have been having weird problems when i started this skool (school) year. Nothing in the family just me. Everything sucks right now which is why I listen to SP’s first album cuz i relate to EVERY song on that cd and its their only cd i have :(! But the holidays ( I celebrate xmas) are coming and i want all their cds. Anyway Im in grade 4 now and I am so glad Simple Plan makes the best music in da world to help me get through things. Without them, right now i wouldn’t be where i am. I would be a piece of crap (which sometimes i already am). I am 9 now will be 10 in january. And i just wanted to say all this cuz i felt needed to tell you guys why i love you so much
Thanks For Being The Best Band In The World!
I LOVE YOU GUYS,
*ALEX*

They are really nice guys. this story really touches me much. it’s a great band. not just because their music are fantastic but because it’s rare to see such nice,gentle behavior in other bands as they do. it makes me even more support them. i love them!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:49 am
dats so sad. it made me think of my uncle who passed away from cancer (12/9/07) T.T
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:08 am
This is a very thouching story and it made me cry when I read it.
My mom recently got breast cancer and she’s currently in chemo. I was really upset and it’s hard looking at her when she’s weak and that I cant do anything about it.
I told her about the song ‘Save You’ and she said she loved it.
This story made me feel stronger and have more faith. I love you mom and I hope you get better.
Thank you so much for posting this story. I bet it helps a lot of people. <3

I’m worried even if I don’t really know her..but plz..If some1 knows what’s going on let me know..

I remember seeing that girl and her sisters at that London show, her name is Kerry Gleeson. I was taking photos in the pit at that show and have a couple of close-up shots of Pierre with her name written on his hand with a black Sharpie! I am so glad that she got to meet the band and experience this after losing her father. It was well-deserved.
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:12 pm

wow, i can’t imagine how the girl’s feeling when she found out she gets to meet the band and talk to them, based on her story, she seems like she worships the band. lol. but, i have to say, it’s such a moving story, for me, for all of us, i mean. simple plan really changes people’s life, and i really proud of them, and from save you lyrics you already know there’s a story behind the song.
LOVE YOU GUYSSSS

Amazing, <3
Am I right?

thats an amazing story..
i never thought much about this whole cancer thing SP was doing..
i figured that coz it didnt effect me, i’d let other people enter.. kinda like let them do all the work.. but today i realised something.. you have to help anyone even if they dont effect you.. coz thats wat we’re here for anyways ryte??.. did i make sense??..
anyway, two days ago i lost my mother to bone cancer.. (step-mother but really a mother to me)…
and i just cant unerstand how God can be so cruel!.. and she was in soo much pain too.. she wasnt supposed to die before me.. not before seeing me or my bro get married.. she was supposed to live till 90.. but no.. God just had to take her now.. i love her soo much.. since i found out about her cancer a month ago, i only saw her once.. i didnt even have a chance to say goodbye.. and the funeral was today.. xmas eve.. but i’m not gonna let greif take me.. coz i know that she totaly loved xmas.. so i’m gonna have a great xmas.. just for her..
the thought of never seeing her again.. its kinda killing me slowly.. then in my head i heard ‘Meet You There’.. that song never used to effect me.. but now i get it..
so Kerry Gleeson (i hope thats the right name).. i know for sure that your dad and my mom are up there in heaven.. looking down on us and laughing at all the stupid things we do.. (if you do stupid thing that is).. and theyll be having a great xmas…

Touching story, </3

Your songs touch so many lives. Basically, thanks for existing. Being a teenager is probably the toughest part of someone’s life and you guys seem to help a lot. Thank you all for raising the money, not many bands care. You’re all amazing people. My grandad had cancer but thankfully it’s gone into remission now
I’m sorry to hear that the girl’s father passed away and if she reads this, i hope you’re ok…
David, i think i speak for everyone on this site when i say we hope your sister gets well soon. Your fans will always be there for you guys, basically like you’ve been there for many of us.
I know that sounds really corny and cheesy but it’s true.
Thank you for changing so many lives for the better, you guys rock

C’est tellement beau comme histoire, mais aussi tellement triste. Je vais pas vous cachez qu’a la fin, j’ai verser quelques larmes. Le cancer est tellement destructeur et touche beaucoup trop de personne. L’autre jour, j’ai appris qu’une fille de mon age à eu le cancer (18 ans), c’est tellement jeune, personne peut ce croire à l’abris d’une tel chose. Ont en entend souvent parler, mais je crois qu’ont à pas vraiment consience de ce que c’est avant qu’un être cher soit toucher. C’est tellement pénible pour cette personne, mais aussi pour tout les membres de sa famille. Il y a toujours de l’espoir aprés un traitement de chimio, mais il y a aussi toujours la crainte que le cancer revienne. C’est tellement étrange, j’arrive sur votre site, et je vois cette article sur le cancer, alors que c’est aujourd’hui que je vais s’avoir si un être cher de ma famille va devoir recevoir d’autre traitement et si il y a résidive du cancer.
January 9th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
esta cancion esta buenisima, es muy tierna muy dulce, pierre es una buena persona al igual q su familia, no merecian sufrir asi, su hermano no debia sufrir asi, realmente se merecen lo mejor. les deseo lo mejor d lo mejor a todos, especialmente a los chicos d la banda. besos
January 9th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
hey i was just wondering i have been waiting since sixth grade to see you guys play im a senior now soooo i got tickets to see your concert last march of 08 to see simple plan at chicago and i was very excited and you guys cancelled on us and never made it up. i have been waiting and im wondering when you guys are making that up to us because its very upsetting to know that you havent yet. so when are you guys making up the chicago date?
January 10th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
OMG, what a sad story! I feel sorry for the girl, but I’m really happy because she could talk to Simple Plan ^-^ My mom lost her dad (my granpa) and so I didn’t have the chance to know him, but I really would like to have done so.
Kisu ^.~
January 11th, 2009 at 2:30 am
This story is pretty amazing. She is so lucky to have met Simple Plan, but unlucky that her dad died
I know how she feels, three of my important people have died from cancer and I’m about to lose another.
I have been waiting to meet Simple Plan for five years. But bad luck always falls on my side
It would be amazing to meet the wonderful guys who created this song and helped inspire kids everywhere.
There isn’t much we can say to someone when their important person dies. No matter how many people say “I’m so sorry” or “Don’t worry, he’ll always be watching over you”, it’s still a hard pill to swallow. Almost impossible, really. It’s so hard to accept, and you feel like you’ll be hurting forever, that you’ll never overcome the anguish you feel.
The song “Save You” was created four years too late, for me. Still, I feel sad when I think about those I lost, and this song helps me pull through my sadness. It’ll help me get through the death of my fourth important person, which could happen anytime now.
Remember, a person can become truly strong, when they wish to protect someone they cherish.
-Haku, from “Naruto”
Love you guys so much.

January 12th, 2009 at 9:16 am
PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!! Read it!
hello simple plan! I’m cecilia an Italian girl who lives near Milan …. I am writing because when I heard your song … 3 years ago … I have not stopped to listen to …. I think every second every minute … there drawing … I learn to play your songs … and I have a notebook with all the things written about you …. I know people who listen to metal, and perhaps do not appreciate your music, but to me I do not inport of what they say .. I do not ever change idea of what I feel for you only and only because your music has managed to take possession of my heart …. I know that what I am saying to you there cares nothing about why I have so much for you ??…. a person equal to a thousand other people … one that beat simple plan but there are too many people that like simple plan and then I am more than 100,000 of these people .. there is no difference infondo I maybe I will never be anyone, and maybe you will not even leggrete this letter. .. but at least I tried it because I do not ever lose hope …… it is as if you knew from a life and step as if every day with you but you do not know who they are not even exist but that the next time you’ll come to Milan (and I hope as soon as possible) will be meeting so that my happiness will be achieved the summit and from there I do not understand that no one but I became someone ….
I hope to meet you soon again here in Italy ….. (a MILANO!)
PS I think there will be many errors of grammar to English but I did more than I could!
hello !!!!!!!!!!!!! ^ ^

AMAZING STORY.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Hey I just noticed something when I re-read this girl’s story…
She said that Simple Plan is American-based. I was like uh…no they’re not. They’re from Montreal. Am I the only one who noticed this mistake?
January 17th, 2009 at 1:52 am
This is an amazing story. It made me cry, but it’s another one of the reasons why i truly love Simple Plan.
They’re not one of those fake bands who only care about money. They actually care about their fans and they are devoted to us. They keep people hanging on even when things get tough.
pray for Julie <3
January 20th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Hey guyssss *__*
yep I had readed it somewhere,I really liked the story,it’s so amazing,and I so understand her!!
I felt like her 4 years ago,and when I listened Welcome To My Life at first time,
{the fist song I listened}I knew inmediatly that Simple Plan is unique and special,I felt that Simple Plan is the only one who understand me…
So I can feel how she feels,and I can say that she’s right,Simple Plan is A=M=A=Z=I=N=G .
SP fans - add meeeeee sp4ever@hotmail.es ^_^

Dying. Anyway I Hope Your Dad Gets
Better And All The Ppl Who Has Cancer.
Simple Plan You Are Such A Great Band
Thanks For Helping Ppl With Cancer.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Aw, that story is so amazing!
The first time i heard SP was when the ‘I’m Just A Kid’ video came out and i loved the video! Then i heard it on ‘Cheaper By The Dozen’ and i asked my parents to buy the CD for me but they kinda got me ‘Still Not Getting Any’ instead. I listened to it pretty much every day! I bought ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’ myself and loved it. Then when the self titled album came out i got the one with the DVD and i was addicted to it! OMG i love SP!!!
I dunno why i just wrote all that, i guess there’s not much else to do.
Bye! (i love you David)
January 27th, 2009 at 10:00 am
great story…
i love you Simple Plan. you guys have been my favourite band since i was 10 (that’s 5 years. i hope you guys have any other concert soon. plus i just want you to know that your song “Save You” got me through my cousin battle of cancer… i sang it to her on her birthday, after she was in tears. i also want to say thank you guys so much for being the band i could always count on. i love you so much.
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
love you Pierre!
SIMPLE PLAN ROX THIS WORLD!!!!
January 28th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I’m not going to say anything that hasn’t been already said here. I wish I could write something more original, but sometimes words just don’t come to your mind. I can’t believe how strong all these people are, and how awesome, great, incredible, the band is.
Fortunately, I haven’t had any close experience with cancer, although my parents and other relatives have. Nevertheless, you made me a bit more conscious about all this. And it’s difficult to feel it when you’re not affected directly. But all this (the foundation, the song, you helping people..) it’s amazing, and you can make people conscious with your huge contribution to it.
Keep on this way, people can learn a lot of you all.
I can just say I’m impressed, you always surprise me, in many different ways (not just your charity).
Thank you.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Believe it was not so expensive that you saved it in those years, I a girl without reason to live was also saved in a beautiful … you know I admire you and others know truth!
Every day I speak to you so principalmento of David I love so much, I tried to stop fa confess be sad because it means not to see them and you should not think she does not like that much of us but I love you guys and know what
why, why you returned me to live the joy and the pride that I take with me a sentence “so I quit when you’re finished” … Congratulations for every song by every gesture and every word, you can not understand, but everything they say mean much for some people including myself, now I know I’m crying is an emotion can say to my idols that love of truth for you the sky is not ..
that God will give all that you deserve
This SaaH Zebrinha here always be here praying, singing and being a big fan of Simple Plan and please never give up the SP, because it is a support for those in the worst, not to have more alternatives
Thank you my love!
January 29th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
That was an amazing story,i love Simple Plan so much & what they did for that girl & her family is unforgettable!! i was bullied a few years at high school so badly that i decided to change schools end of last year i felt it was the only solution i had. I felt so alone & i couldnt talk to anyone about it, i still cant. i went to my 1st Simple Plan concert in Melbourne at the Festival Hall 21st October 2008 it was the best fucking nyt of my life there must’ve been some sort of magic in the songs that night because it’s really changed my life since then. i was fortunate to be at the front of the moshpit all nyt, DAVID & SIMPLE PLAN I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU & YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART EVEN WHEN YOU GROW OLD THANKYOU FOR MAKING THAT NYT POSSIBLY FOR ME, Fingers & tosed crossed you come back to Australia very soon,stay longer, do more shows,& a meet & greet would be amazing because ive never met you guyd and it would be so special if my dream was completed, dont get me wrong going to your concert was sooooooo amazing i would go back in time to repete it over & over if it was possibly but ii isnt so…. PLease come back as soon as you can to Melbourne, i will buy the 1st ticket that goes on sale!! ThAnK-yOu So MuCh FoR ChAnGiNg My LiFe!! ClOsE tOgEtHeR oR fAr ApArT yOu WiLl AlWaYs Be In My HeArT!!

Dear Simple plan,
The song “save you” is fantastic!
My grandfather is very sick with cancer and the music began and the day they discovered the disease. Today he is almost dying, I lost my grandmother because of this disease!
I love my grandfather too! Only those who pass by to see how it is suffering so much. I’m suffering a lot and I think that Pierre must have suffered too!

i can not beleve this story
it is very nice, honestly i wanted to cry, but i didn´t
i like all simple plan´s song, but my fevaorites are SAVE YOU and perfect world
and you are right because save you is the best i´m agree with you.
before a i did´nt like simple plan because i thounght tha their sogs were so bad, but oine day i listened and i sais i was wrong because teheir songas are so good.
now a wait that alot of people see your story because ios very nice.
February 13th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
what i thought of this: wow. just, wow. in a TERRIFIC AND RIDICULOUSLY GOOD AND INDESCRIBABLY FANTASTIC WAY, and a horrible and depressing and sad way.
like, i often think I’D DO ANYTHING, ANYTHING (thats the name of one of their songs btw) JUST TO SEE THEM LIVE (let alone talk with them, for goodness, goodness heaven sakes) but i read your story and it’s like, if my dad died, would i still think that way?
huh. cant imagine…
anyways,
Wow.
February 14th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
That is such a heartbreaking story!
And it’s so sweet of the members of Simple Plan to show so much compassion
I applaud everyone that’s ever been through anything like this and made it out with hope left.

February 16th, 2009 at 3:08 am
that was amazing.you sound alot like me my mother had breast cancer and that was the worst time of my life but like you simple plan came to the rescue that was when i fifrst hear simple plan the very first time i heard them i was staying up til ten at nightt to just hear ‘perfect’. all of the songs they write do have soo much meaning to them’.'im just a kid’ is one i can really relate to. i have moved from new zealand to australia resently and it was the worst thing to leave all my friends and to know that i wasnt comming back. that was when the first single of simple plan’s ‘when im gone’ came out one of my friends heard it and the line ‘your gonna miss me when im gone’ kept repeating in my head.
i knew that simple plan’s new album was due to come out soon so i waited and waited and i went out on the day and brught it. by this stage i had moved to australia. i had talked to my mum for the possibility of going to their concert made me so happy. i missed out once before and i didnt want to again but i did because the only show that was closest to where i am now was in perth and of course im under 18 so i couldnt go.
my mum came to me and asked why i was so egar to go and i said that i just wanted to hear one song sung live, so she was like ‘what the hell?’ so i made her listen to SAVE YOU and it made my mum burst out crying.
im 2002 my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and a few months later my grandfather wass diagnosed with untreatable kidney cancer that later spread throughout his body. i cannot listen to SAVE YOU without sheading a tear and i wish that i could write something as amazing as pierre wrote for his brother. but the lyrics that are there mean soo much to me.
my grandfather came over from new zealand for christmas and i could hardly reconize him. he a since gone back and i dont think i will ever see him again he doent have much time left but my family means the world to me.i love them.
im now 16 and i get beaten up and judged but simple plan will never leave me or hate on me.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
thank you for being there and all the support

Sorry, I’m from Argentina and my English is bad.. so i need to write in Spanish.
Esta historia demuestra lo qe producen en nosotros, sus fans.
Hace casi 1 mes mi abuelo fallecio y hace 5 años mi abuela. Lo unico qe me ayudo a estar bien fue su musica.
Mi abuela fallecio de cancer de pulmon, y al escuchar Save You, no puedo ecitar llorar, porqe me hace acordarme de esos momentos con ella.
Mi abuelo murio por otra cosa y la historia ya fue diferente.
El estuvo mas de 40 dias internado en un hospital muy conocido de aca de Buenos Aires. En el cual no recibio ningun tipo de tratamiento de los qe el necesitaba.
Los enfermeros hacian abandono de persona y muchas cosas mas qe no se podrian creer qe pasen en un hospital.
Save You me hace acordar a todo lo qe le decia a mi abuelo, qe ya iba a mejorar, qe iba a salir del hospital y qe iba a volver a jugar con su nieto de 3 años.
Chicos, todos sus fans nos identificamos con sus canciones, ya sea I’D DO ANYTHING, o sea WHEN I’M GONE.. con todas..
Por favor, nunca dejen la musica, nunca se separen.. romperian miles de corazones en todo el mundo.
Gracias por estar ahi siempre, gracias por robarme una sonrisita cuando escucho su musica por la calle y por siempre demostrarme qe lo unico qe no se abandona son los sueñoS
I LOVE YOU GUYS!! YOU ROCK IN MY WORLD!! ?
