Rock Hill Man Raises Funds for Melanoma Patients Through Song Inspired by His Wife’s Battle with Cancer

Rock Hill, SC – John Bramlett, a resident of Rock Hill, has taken a creative approach to support cancer patients by writing a song dedicated to his wife, Beth, who has faced a difficult journey battling Stage 4 melanoma. This heartfelt initiative aims to raise funds for melanoma research through the sale of the song “Strength of a Lion.”

Three years ago, Beth received a daunting diagnosis that left both her and her family in shock. The prognosis given by doctors was grim, presenting many challenges and uncertainties. Despite these hardships, Beth underwent extensive treatment, which included immunotherapy and oral chemotherapy. Her resilience paid off, as she is currently cancer-free and embracing life anew. This incredible transformation and her unwavering spirit have inspired John to share their story through music.

Motivated by Beth’s strength and the lessons learned throughout her battle, John began crafting a song that encapsulates their experiences and the emotional depth of the journey. As a fixture at Slow Play Brewing, where he regularly enjoys live entertainment, John collaborated with his bandmates during a live-band karaoke night to develop the song further. The supportive atmosphere allowed him to refine his work and prepare for its eventual recording.

John took the next step by recording “Strength of a Lion” at The WAV Lab in Fort Mill. His first live performance of the song occurred at Slow Play Brewing, attended by a crowd that included his wife and close friends. The event turned into a celebration of Beth’s journey and John’s dedication to using art as a means of offering support to others facing similar battles. Beth was visibly moved during the performance and later expressed her happiness for John’s commitment to help those in need.

In addition to creating the song, John has also partnered with Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute to establish a fundraiser page. This page features Beth’s inspiring story and provides individuals an opportunity to listen to the song. All proceeds from the song sales will directly benefit the Levine Melanoma Foundation, which is dedicated to research and assistance for melanoma patients.

The online fundraiser page stands as an accessible resource for supporters wishing to contribute while learning more about the details of Beth’s battle with cancer. By sharing their journey through music, John and Beth not only foster hope for melanoma patients but also aim to raise awareness about the disease and the importance of research for effective treatments.

Background on Melanoma

Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that can be life-threatening if not detected early. It is known for spreading quickly to other parts of the body. Awareness and education about prevention and early detection can significantly impact survival rates. Fundraising efforts like John’s reflect a growing movement to support melanoma research and assist patients in need, highlighting the critical support provided by organizations like the Levine Melanoma Foundation.

John Bramlett’s initiative exemplifies how personal challenges can lead to impactful community involvement. By channeling his and Beth’s experience into a song, he not only honors her journey but also offers hope and aid to others fighting similar battles. The fundraiser and the song serve as a reminder of the resilience found in the face of adversity and the power of community support.

For those interested in supporting John and Beth’s cause, the fundraiser page is now available online, allowing individuals to contribute directly to melanoma research while gaining a glimpse into their inspiring story and listening to the uplifting song “Strength of a Lion.”
