Who's a fan of Jack's Mannequin? Well, in case you didn't know, here's a little bit of a history. Jack's Mannequin is the solo project of Something Corporate's lead singer, Andrew McMahon. I find Andrew to be extremely inspiring because he is a leukemia survivor who has fought to get to where he is today. The leukemia even changed his singing voice, but he continued to pursue his dreams all the same. Andrew even used what he learned from his experience to start his own foundation for leukemia research and write inspiring hit songs like "Caves," "The Resolution," and "Swim." Here's a clip from the documentary "Dear Jack" that Andrew has out about his amazing journey. I think after watching this anyone will feel inspired from Andrew's strength and music. Enjoy!

This is awesome! Love Jack's!
