Donavon Frankenreiter & Love Hope Strength

A few days before the Love Hope Strength trip to Mt. Fuji was supposed to begin, I got a call from Shannon Foley, the director of the foundation, inviting me to join. I thought it would be an amazing opportunity to give back to an incredible organization, but had no clue it would be as emotional of a trip as it was. I had a great time getting to know these amazing cancer survivors, families of cancer survivors, and the other musicians on the trip - Mike Peters of the Alarm and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. We had a great time climbing Mt. Fuji, and even though my legs hurt for days afterward, it was one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life. I am so excited to stay involved with this organization and continue to help them in the fight against cancer. Check out what they're all about here: http://www.lovehopestrength.org/ and then check out the slideshow I put together of pictures from the trip. The song is from my new album GLOW (out Tuesday, 10/5) and it's called "Home". Hope you enjoy!
