One Last Christmas - Matthew West Official Music Video

To give now visit: http://www.matthewwest.com.

This is the video my new Christmas song - "One Last Christmas." This song is inspired by the true story of the Locke family and their son Dax.

At just thirteen months old, little Dax was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. He was given two bone marrow transplants as a part of emergency treatment; one from each of his parents. The doctors then told his parents that Dax would most likely not make it to see Christmas.

This song is about the love of a family, and the coming together of an entire community to make sure that this little boy could have one last Christmas. His dad, determined that his son would see Christmas, put up the decorations early. The neighborhood caught on, and did the same. The whole town soon followed suit. A website was built telling his story. Soon, pictures were sent from all over the world of Christmas decorations that had been put up in his honor.

Dax did lose his battle with Leukemia, but not before he got to see one last Christmas. Today, this little boy's legacy lives on, and his parents are making sure it does. They were so touched by the care they received from St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, that they now have a desire to raise enough money to run the entire hospital for one day in honor of their son, Dax. The total cost to run St. Jude's for one day is $1.6 million dollars. Already, they have raised a quarter of a million dollars.

This Christmas, it is on my heart to join forces with the Locke family, and help them in their cause. I would like to encourage you to join us in raising money that will go to an amazing cause in St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital that cares for so many children each year.

[John Hilman]

The painful truth is, life is a terminal condition. We will all die, but because of God's amazing grace, it doesn't have to be the end. Dax will be meeting his mom and dad again one day and man, will he have some amazing stories to share with them when they go home and reunite with him.

God has arranged the best plans for everyone of us, and yes, this painful disease has given so much pain to million people and families, but I do believe He's created happiness above all these storms. Stay strong and there's a heaven above us, the only place filled with eternal love and happiness.

[Kelshy Caraballo]

I'm proud because the parents who had children who died because of diseases, stayed strong. Bless all of you who have any relatives with any life threatening diseases. Have faith in God and have hope. Things will get better!
