"On March 4 2012 it will be the sixth annual Walk To Cure Psoriasis and I hope you guys will join me in helping raise funds and awareness for the event. Over the last five years they have raised almost 1.5 million dollars to help research for a cure and there are now 22 walks across the country! They also started the first ever DNA BioBank, which is used by researchers across the country and the money from the walk goes directly to this.

“If you suffer from psoriasis, know someone else who does, or just want to help find a cure for the millions of people whose lives are affected by the disease, you can text NPF to “50555″ to make a $10 mobile donation.”

" It was more than 20 years ago that I sat in the exact same room with my father surrounded by legendary talent for the first recording. It’s definitely a different experience though when you have an understanding of what brought these people together. When I was four I was just watching it and this time I was on the other side actually participating. It was important for me to bring Harlow there because my parents instilled the idea of giving back at a very early age and raised me in an environment where helping others was of utmost importance. This is how I raise my children as well.

“I have included several photos from the recording session, as well as some tragic images of what’s left of Haiti. They’re brutal to look at but I am hoping they will inspire you to help in any way you can.
