‘Holy f***ing shit.’ 

Perhaps words that oughtn’t come out of a 15 year old mouth but we reckon it’s understandable and he gets a free pass when he’s hand delivered a bag of Pearl Jam goodies by PJ management at his Given To Live show  ❤️❤️❤️

So many thanks and abundance of gratitude to Pearl Jam, Sarah S & Emily B 🙏🏻

    Awesome for Reece. Question though.. was that a requested or planned set list prior to Matt’s illness? Green Day cover (Blvd of Broken Dreams) being in Oakland? Or just a dream set list made into a shirt?

    We asked Reece what his dream setlist would be. Setlist tees are a PJ thing so with it written in his writing we thought to have a tee would just make him feel that little bit more special:)

    Reese is a wonderful young man and he was so polite to talk with at the pre party.  We really enjoyed it.  Glad the band came through for you guys.  He definitely deserves everything in life.

    Amazing... I first found out about GTL at the Philly show where the band dedicated LBC to Joshua... I'm hard pressed to think there was a dry eye in the house watching his mom react during the song. 

    Seeing this brings back the same feeling.
