    Hi All,

    A few have asked about Given To Live
    and how, why, what... here's a link - http://www.giventolive.com/#!about/ccjb

    Thank you all for your kind words. We receive generous feedback at times for the work we do, to receive it in here, the community of the band where the inspiration for GTL came from means that little bit more. Thank you.

    Inspired by Pearl Jam, making live music dreams come true.

    Truly inspirational. I will definitely be donating going forward. What an awesome movement you've started. The impact PJ has had on my life was very life changing and the fact that your doing that for others...I have no words other than thank you.

    I'll be at both Philly shows and would be honored to buy Joshua his first PJ poster. Please PM me if you're interested.

    Having seen what Tom does first hand .. And the joy and happiness he brings I don't have enough superlatives to adequately praise him. Tom is a unique person, one who always thinks of others before himself, a rare breed and given to live is beyond inspirational

    As a parent of a young son with developmental delays/disabilities this really hits home for me. Good stuff, Tom. Good stuff.

    Thank you and everyone else for their kind words. They're very much appreciated.

    Everyone should have the opportunity to go to a show if they want and for so many it's not so simple. Some it's a disability, some it's mental health issues, some are carers. Some just need a little help, encouragement, care.

    That's why we do what we do :)
