I have tried to be vocal about the things that matter to me. And so I have made it my life goal to raise funds for medical organizations, hospitals, and cutting-edge research targeting neurological diseases, and to inspire and empower young philanthropists[3] and musicians to participate in benefit concerts for a cure all across the globe - saving lives through music.

我常对与自己有关的事情直言不讳。所以为医学机构、医院、神经疾病尖端研究筹集资金，激励和促使青年慈善家和音乐家能够参加全球各地的康复公益音乐会，成为我的人生目标。也就是，用音乐拯救生命。

每个月我都会花时间在各种医学会议上做演讲，让更多的人看到重病儿童的痛苦。我和同事在朱利亚学院呆上整整几天之后，很多周末都会去医院的每个病房进行表演。

I remember a meeting I had when I was seven with a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Fred Epstein resulted in a personal epiphany for me.[5] He took me on a tour of the pediatric ICU[6] that exposed me for the first time to children suffering from incurable diseases. I left determined to bring them some measure of peace, enjoyment, a little contagious enthusiasm, and a reminder of what’s outside that ICU.
