-Jesse McCartney recently paid a visit to the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center to visit the patients. Jesse has been a supporter of City of Hope for a while. This year he performed along with Miley Cyrus & Demi Lovato at the 2nd Annual City of Hope Benefit Concert.
He shares in the video: “City of Hope is an amazing place…The most incredible thing about City of Hope is the kids. In spite of the struggles and the fear that they face, they look at every day with bravery, courage and the will to never give up.”
“I walk away with a whole new outlook on life. That life is so short and to cherish every second you’re here. I’m just happy I’m in this position. I think I really am here for more than just to make music or write a song. It’s to do things like this. As much as it may change their 10 minutes, it changes my whole life.”
Jesse is also involved in other charities. Today is the Variety Power of Youth Event and Jesse is one of 5 honorees, including Keke Palmer, Corbin Bleu, Annalynne McCord & Miranda Cosgrove. Variety has a great profile of Jesse and all the honorees HERE.
