We are very proud to present to you our video for "Save You".
What originally inspired this song was Pierre's brother's battle with
cancer. About 3 years ago, Jay was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's
lymphatic cancer. After 2 years of extremely difficult chemotherapy
treatments, he learned that the cancer was gone for now and that he was
in remission.
After being told he had a 50-50 chance to come out of this alive, he had
won his battle.
Because this happened to someone so close to us, we felt that, as a
band, we had to do something to help. We had to get involved and use
our voice to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
We wanted this video to tell his story and the ones of all cancer
survivors. We want to show how strong people can be when facing
adversity and hardship and how resilient the human mind and body can be.
We wanted to relay a message of hope, survival and courage.
With the assistance of iTunes, Lava/Atlantic, and Warner/Chappell Music,
all proceeds from each downloaded sale will be distributed to cancer
charities around the world, through the Simple Plan Foundation.
"Save You" - which is also found on our self-titled third studio album
"Simple Plan" - can be purchased on iTunes here: U.S. | Canada
We wish to send out a special thank you to everyone involved in the
creation of this video, the production crew, the Leucan Association, and
all the survivors that took time out of their busy schedules to be part
of this very special message. You are an inspiration to us all!
We hope that with your assistance, you can help us beat cancer.
Thank you
Simple Plan
