T.J Emore, popularly known as TJ Sax, has said that he is supporting children living with cancer because he is happy to be alive. “I am supporting these children because I am happy to be alive, and I want to help others stay alive and live cancer-free. They are children like me and I think they deserve the best,” he told TheNiche.
The teen saxophonist has shown that age does not matter when it comes to giving back to society. He has given his support to the Children Living with Cancer Foundation which held the “Heart of Hope Walkathon” on September 19 from Dowen College, Lekki Phase 1 through Lekki Phase 1 GTB Gate Oniru, back to Lekki Phase 1.
