In January, a blog post written by popular LDS singer Hilary Weeks went viral. The post, titled “Carolyn Can,” was a tribute to BYU’s director of sports medicine, Carolyn Billings.

Weeks had recently received letters from people who were given copies of her CDs by Billings, who is battling cancer for the fourth time. The letters detailed how Billings’ kindness blessed the lives of the recipients, some of whom joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

There's a reason why Billings, a former college athlete, shares the CDs. She believes the music once saved her.
