“As a performer it’s imperative to give a voice to worthy causes, and I’m honored to help the issue of childhood cancer be heard at this year’s Hyundai Hope on Wheels kick-off event,” expressed Melanie Fiona. “It’s remarkable that in its 17th year of fighting the battle against childhood cancer, Hope on Wheels shows no sign of slowing when it comes to finding a cure through groundbreaking research. We can all agree, one child fighting cancer is one child too many.”

Fiona’s first solo album, The Bridge, was released in 2009 and garnered multiple awards. She also won two GRAMMY awards for the song “Fool for You” with CeeLo Green.
