What celebrities say about the Skat Kats project and the healing power of music:
Troy Cassar Daley, country music star
"Music is a gift that is sometimes taken for granted, to some it's a living, and that's it, but to me it's a huge passion! As a child growing up in a single parent relationship music gave me a home in lonely times and a smile when there was no one else to give one. Kids are our world! Sick kids in particular are precious little souls and I hope that music brings them comfort and peace they need." |

Jimmy Barnes
"Music does amazing things. It can transport you to another place and another time, reminding you of pivotal moments in your life. It can make you feel sad as easy as it can bring you joy. But most people don't recognise the healing properties of music. If it heals you physically or lifts your spirit which in turn helps with recovery, I'm not sure, but I've seen many cases where the music has helped the healing process of adults and children. Music is the language of the soul and should never be underestimated." |

The Skat Kats art work has been kindly donated by world famous children’s illustrator Guy Parker Rees (whose works include K is for Kissing a Cool Kangaroo and Giraffes Can’t Dance among many others.) Guy has bought our songs to life with his infectiously jolly pictures and delivered his product beautifully and professionally in a matter of days of us asking. Big love to Guy!

"Ruby and Sara and Ella all prove that just because you have cancer or cancer in your family, you can still be a very cool little Kat! They are truly inspirational." |

| Alan Jones
“It’s easy to support a project that helps young people be happy in their environment especially if that environment involves personal struggle. Music is one of the great languages of life and gives us a capacity to think beyond the circumstances that envelop us.” |

And may the rhythm of your music continue to touch many lives.” Felicity is a multiple winner of the Golden Guitar Awards and known as one of Australia’s outstanding country music talents.
