When Bonnie Freeman was diagnosed with cancer in 1981, she realized the need for an organization that could help other children like herself who had the disease. With help from her sister, Carolyne R. Freeman and her parents, Howard and Laurel Freeman, STOP! Children's Cancer was founded that same year. Since its inception, STOP! has raised over two million dollars for children's cancer research. In a letter written in 1983, Bonnie requested that "since the money from this fund is for all the kids in the world, everyone should help." Bonnie's legacy lives on through STOP! Children's Cancer. By purchasing this CD, you have joined others in making a positive impact on our children's future.
Hanna Peterson, who sings the title track "I Won't Give Up", had a dream of recording a song to express her determination as she confronts her ongoing battle against cancer. Prompted and supported by Diane Biernacki, who is a nurse at Shand's Teaching Hospital and through the donations of all those involved in this project, Hanna's dream has become a reality. Thanks to everyone who gave to this effort.
The credits say that the song "I Will Talk" has been produced by Ken Block. There is no song with that title, so I think they're referring to "I Need You Again", which is written and performed by Ken Block.
