Paige Spreads Holiday Cheer, Post Cancer
December
23, 2005
Paige Armstrong has the star quality of Hilary Duff
and the Hollywood shimmer of Lindsay Lohan. But this
15-year-old singer is a bright star all her own.
Armstrong already has a CD under her belt, having performed
on the Bath and Body Works “2005 Perfect Christmas”
CD. But this young lady is blessed with more than just
talent.
When Paige was just 10 years old, she was diagnosed
with cancer. The Make-A-Wish Foundation heard, and they
made her dream of recording music come true.
“When you’re diagnosed with a life-threatening illness,
you realize what’s important in life. For my wish, I
was able to go down to Nashville and record a CD,” Paige
told us. “The experience was more than I ever could
have hoped for.”
Paige’s Nashville CD led to Bath and Body Works, including
the opportunity to sing on their holiday CD. “I never
would have imagined that I’d be on the same CD as Stevie
Wonder or Jessica Simpson,” she admitted.
Armstrong started performing when she was only four.
Today, she’s cancer-free and has another wish she wants
fulfilled.
“I have discovered what I want to do with my life,”
she told us. “I want to encourage people through music.
All of your dreams get put on hold [with cancer], they
just get put in a little black box, and Make-A-Wish
is like the little key that unlocks them.”
One dollar from every sold “2005 Perfect Christmas”
CD will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
