Inspiration:
Dose of Music is inspired by Rachel, who passed away on June 8, 2007 at age 7. Rachel was a martial arts student of Jason Hopp (Dose of Music Founder & CEO). Jason intended to make hospital visits to sing and play guitar for Rachel and the other children to provide a dose of happiness to help them forget about the pain of their illnesses. Unfortunately, he did not get a chance when Rachel lost her 5 year courageous battle with cancer. Rachel and her family inspired Jason and so many others. Rachel's example of how to stare what life gives you right in the face is a constant reminder of how to live, how blessed life is, and to always be grateful. Dose of Music will be spreading Rachel's inspiration by giving back to others!
