About David Plotkin

The Story Behind The Journey

Our lives were turned upside-down on May 2, 2007 – the day our son Max had a biopsy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The results revealed that it was cancer. The very next day was Max’s fourth birthday. Eight days later, he was diagnosed with a rare form of B- Cell Lymphoma in the bone of his right arm. It was every parent’s nightmare come true. Not only was the cancer rare, it had spread. The oncologists were blunt. Without the proper immediate treatment, the consequences would be devastating.

I was never a religious man, but I turned to my faith for comfort while at the same time seeking answers. I started writing songs as a form of prayer and therapy for me during a very difficult time. I never thought these words would become anything other than words to help me and only me, overcome life's obstacles. I was wrong.

A musician friend of the family named Tom Nieman heard the lyrics and wrote the music to my songs. Chills ran down my spine after hearing him bring my words to life.

In June 2008, I went to Nashville to see if anyone would want to attach themselves to my project, a project whose focus is to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research. We were blessed to find Ian Eskelin an award winning inspirational producer who was inspired by the story of Max. I met Ian in June of 2008, and seven months later we had made an album. We hired group of talented and well-known musicians from Nashville to record the record. This is not any ordinary album. This is as real as it gets. These are my words spoken by me every day and night as I searched for triumph. The name of the album is called "The Journey." It is a seventeen song musical that tells our story written by me inspired by my child. I came to a cross roads in my life, wandered down a new path, and found myself a changed man. This change now defines me.

A portion of proceeds from the album will benefit The Max Cure Foundation For Pediatric Cancer Causes, primarily going to The Max Cure Fund at MSKCC to help underwrite the establishment of a research lab at the hospital for pediatric cancers.

If you would like to make a donation please visit MAXCUREFOUNDATION.org. We are dedicated to finding the funds to help in the researching of rare pediatric cancers, improving treatments and finding cures that will save children's lives.

All the Best,

David Plotkin

Aaron	Aug 25 2009 5:40 PM All power is His!!! Body: Sometimes I feel like I have to get things done. That if I dont do things myself they wont get done right. I move to fast and end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or I focus so much on one area or situation that I leave other stuff undone. I can feel so defeated at time and just feel like giving up, throwing in the towel, or flat out just quiting. When I am feeling like this I just want to scream and yell at the top of my voice, When I'm about to lose my cool, and over heat. I STOP and I START TO PRAISE MY LORD for I know He has all the power. He is the KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS!!! He has been given all authority in earth and in heaven. If there is anyone who knows how I feel it is Christ Jesus. Look to the source of life and to the one who has the power to overcome death and sin. (Now that is power). Dont think just trust, dont make a way, let Him guide you, dont give up, pray for His strength. We are overcomers and victors!! All Power is HIs and His alone. Give Him Glory today. Are problems are so small to God. Look to Him and He will provide the Way out of all situations we cant handle. Love you all, Aaron
