Canadian boyband Simple Plan has released a special charity single, with proceeds to be distributed to cancer charities around the world.

The Montreal-based released “Save You” – which is also found on Simple Plan’s self-titled third studio album – on iTunes yesterday, October 14, as a tribute to lead singer Pierre Bouvier’s brother Jay, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer at the age of 28. Money from the single will be distributed by the Simple Plan Foundation, set up by the band in December 2005, to help young people in need by easing their difficult passage to adulthood.

Since it was established, the Foundation has donated over $100,000 to various charitable organizations around Canada and has raised over $200,000 at benefit events. They have also recently announced that 50 cents from each ticket sale from their upcoming tour will go to the Foundation.
