The Heroes Project, a song project benefiting cancer survivors, is returning with a new song and a new goal. Founded in 2009, The Heroes Project began as the dream of Gwinnett-based entrepreneur David Greer. Greer, founder of Tillman Allen Greer, a marketing strategy and creative services firm, has long been supporters of the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life and the fight against cancer. After years of donating and volunteering, they decided that they wanted to do more and began looking for ways to use the resources of his team to make an even larger impact."This has always been something of great importance to me," Greer says." So many people in my life, including members of my own family, have been affected by cancer, and we wanted to do more to support them in their fight. I began looking for ways to use the talents God has given us to make a difference in the lives of the survivors and the families struggling with this horrible disease." Greer began his quest by penning lyrics and then set out to produce his first song for the project - All Are Our Heroes - the proceeds of which raised thousands of dollars in donations for cancer research. All Are Our Heroes was only the beginning for Greer and The Heroes Project. The song quickly became an inspirational platform for all involved, rallying a worldwide following of thousands committed to fight the disease and find a cure. The Heroes Facebook and social media groups, launched in 2009, have over members from virtually every state in the U.S. and more than 20 countries worldwide. In just one year, the project has grown from an idea and a dream into an influential voice in the fight against cancer. Greer has just completed production on We Light a Candle, the celebration anthem to honor survivors, and is currently distributing CDs and downloadable versions for this year's fundraising efforts online at The website also features video updates about the project, a sneak preview of the new song, and stories from real survivors touched by the campaign."Each year at the Relay, we listen to the bagpipes playing Amazing Grace, meet back at the stage, and light a candle in honor of those who are gone, those who are fighting and those who have survived," Greer explains."It is the most beautiful sight you can ever behold. We wanted to write a song this year that would capture that emotion and share it with others, so they too would want to become involved in this important fight."
