/24-7PressRelease/ -- Harford County musician and author, Chris W. James helps raise over $60,000 for the Crohn's and Colitis foundation by giving the gift of music to the documentary, Rubber Side Down: From the Rockies to The Rock.
A pet project of Editor Andy Peterson, of the hit Television show, Survivorman, Rubber Side Down follows two cyclists riding from coast to coast to raise money to fight Crohn's and Colitis.
Every Year Crohn's Disease affects over half a million residents of US and Canada.
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. It primarily causes ulcerations (breaks in the lining) of the small and large intestines, but can affect the digestive system anywhere from the mouth to the anus. It is named after the physician who described the disease in 1932. It also is called granulomatous enteritis or colitis, regional enteritis, ileitis, or terminal ileitis.
Says Chris, "I didn't have to do a lot of work, cyclists Greg (Mailloux) and Vin (Heney) were the real hero's here, but I'm glad to be able to help out a great cause." I love making music, and their cause inspired me after watching the trailer Andy (Peterson) sent me.
" We've met before, when I sent Andy music for Survivorman, after completing music for movie soundtrack China Dolls." Plus I like the positive message of the saying, Rubber Side Down which basically means " Be safe."
James, no stranger to illness himself, is a motivational speaker on depression awareness and self empowerment, authored the book, " Music Inside My Head and out of My Mind." available at Amazon and retailers everywhere.
The movie, Rubber Side Down, premiers in April at select theaters and locations. Find out more at: http://www.poweredbycommunity.org/cms or http://www.Musiccanheal.org to see how you can help join the fight.
MusicCan Heal is a website dedicated to the healing power of music and community. Originally formed to combat the stigma of depression and relatied illness.
