Rufus and Martha Wainwright are honoring their late mother Kate McGarrigle with a new project that gives studio time to musicians living with cancer.

Rufus and Martha Wainwright are launching a new initiative in honor of their late mother, Kate McGarrigle, to provide musicians living with aggressive cancer time in professional recording studios. The project will give musicians with cancer a similar platform to express themselves creatively during such a difficult time and record a song of their own in a supportive, collaborative environment. The initiative will launch with a special party on Dec. 3 featuring musical performances and stories from the Wainwrights and Cancer Can Rock founder Jim Ebert.
