“Deeply moved by @mckaylamaroney who shared her story for the first time today @nyspcc luncheon. What we do makes a difference, especially what we do when we’ve been touched by tragic events. Only by sharing can we learn and prevent. Your strength is truly inspiring, thank you.”
A fan named John recently wrote to Vicky on Twitter, “On April 29, ’94, I was involved in a fatal car crash that took the lives of 3 of my friends and left me with life-threatening burns to 75% of my body. It was #soundgarden and other bands that helped me through the tough times. His music saved my life! #MusicHeals.”
