ME/CFS is a complex/multi-system disease that is life-altering and highly debilitating. According to the CDC, it is estimated that up to 2.5 million Americans (20 million worldwide) suffer from ME/CFS. Yet, ME/CFS has traditionally been one of the lowest funded diseases by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH). Before this illness rendered him almost entirely bedbound and in need of full-time care, Hal Walker taught thousands of Ohio children to play the harmonica, directed the
Summit Children’s choir, curated the Cuyahoga Valley Concert Series, and in so many ways inspired children and adults to make and celebrate music.
“It’s been devastating to watch Hal’s health decline so rapidly, and to watch the huge loss he’s facing as he doesn’t have the strength to make music,” said long-time friend and concert organizer, David Ford. “We certainly want to raise money for Hal’s care, but it’s also so important to raise awareness about this brutal illness. It has wreaked havoc on Hal’s life, and we want to support more research and understanding.”
Performers for this event include: Chris Martin of Coldplay, Joe Crookston, Evie Ladin, Moira Smiley, Jayme Stone, Tracy Grammer, Peter & Mary Alice Amidon and more. (The full list of contributing musicians can be found at ALoveSongForHal.com)
