When each of us start complaining of how difficult times are its something like this that opens our eyes to the real world. I lost a special niece to this terrible disease. Michele was a very special girl who filled everyones heart with joy just by knowing her. I've met other children with this and they are all very special. Thank you Brad for doing this song. I hope that everyone that hears it goes out and buys it to help the ATCP. Thank you Joey for being an inspiration to us all.

Joe Kindregan, 23, pours his heart and soul into these lyrics...Brad Paisley is the master of delivery! A beautiful joint venture to benefit AT Childrens's Project. Buy it today...Gift it today...

This song gets better and better each time you listen. Thank you, Brad Paisley, for bringing voice to Joe's song.

AWESOME!!!! I have a grandson with Ataxia Telangiectasia, also. He is only 3, but we worry about all the struggles he will endure with this disease. Thanks to Joe and Brad for a great song and also supporting A-T.

For those unaware of the story behind this song, this song was actually not written by Brad Paisley. The tune was written by Joe Kindregan, a 23-year-old Virginia native who has A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia), a fatal disease that combines symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, immune deficiencies and cancer. Joe met Brad back in 2005 at a fundraiser for Team 25, which helps kids facing tremendous health challenges like his. The two sang on stage together at the event and have kept in touch through the years. Brad will give all of his artist royalties from U.S. digital single sales of "Hard Life" in the next year to the A-T Children's Project. So tell everyone you know to start downloading this song!! The "Hard Life" lyrics are inspired by not only Joe's battle with A-T, but also by others with the disease who have shared their stories with him. When the songwriter shared his lyrics with his country superstar friend, they both realized they had something very special. Joe was in Brad's Nashville studio to watch the recording and producing process, seeing his song come to life.
