During his hospital residency in 2002, Dr. Raffi Tachdjian met Justin, a teenager suffering from bone cancer. After several failed chemotherapy attempts, Justin was left feeling hopeless and isolated. When Dr. Raffi asked Justin how he could help, he learned that guitar was Justin’s passion. That’s when Dr. Raffi decided to try something unconventional. So, with a guitar from a local music shop, Dr. Raffi organized an impromptu concert that same evening, bringing together kids from all over the hospital to enjoy Justin’s music. And that was the beginning of Children’s Music Fund.
