50% of all proceeds from the sale of The Grieving Project Audiobook will be donated to Myositis Support and Understanding Association (MSU), a patient-centered, all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization empowering the Myositis Community through education, support, awareness, advocacy, access to research, and need-based financial assistance. 

Having lived with dermatomyositis, a form of myositis, for 13 1/2 years, improving the lives of those living with myositis is near and dear to my heart. Further, my personal experience with MSU has shown that they go above and beyond to support their members, as well others in need, and do so with enthusiasm, determination, compassion and passion. Gratitude to MSU for also graciously offering to share The Grieving Project with their members and others who might benefit, recognizing how art and music can be an opening to help us process grief and loss from our illnesses.

Thanks to a micro grant from The Pollination Project to print 300 CDs of The Grieving Project, MSU also partnered to help to reach and donate the CD to music and art therapy/arts activity, child life programs at hospitals, mental health and health organizations and other institutions across the United States, to empower others struggling with chronic illness to grieve and thrive.
