Twilight Examiner has an article about how Jackson’s band 100 Monkeys made fourteen year old girl named Dorothy, who has terminal cancer, dream come true.

According to a recent press release,

Fourteen year-old Dorothy has loved Twilight since the day she read the book. Then, after seeing the movie, she was really hooked. Like many teenagers, she dreams of meeting Robert Pattinson, falling in love and living happily ever after. She didn’t get quite that lucky but when Jackson Rathbone and his band, 100 Monkeys, heard her story they invited her to join them this weekend at their concert in Dallas, Texas.

Due to terminal cancer, Dorothy hasn’t been able to do much lately but one of her childhood dreams came true last week. She and her family were given a vacation of a lifetime at Disney World in Orlando. They get back this Friday just in time for the concert. They’re getting tickets to the show and backstage passes to meet the band this Saturday at The Palladium. “We’re all very lucky people and helping others makes us who we are,” said Rathbone.

100 Monkeys recently completed a two-month, East Coast tour, with every show sold out. The band has been featured on MTV, VH1, Entertainment Tonight and in People Magazine. The thing that makes the band so unique is that each member can play every instrument. In between songs, one of them yells ’switcharoo’ and they all switch instruments. “It’s great to see musicians that can play six or seven different instruments without missing a beat. We’ve booked them at venues all over the country and they never fail to amaze us,” said Tim Crockett of New Castle Entertainment.

The all ages concert at The Palladium promises to be their biggest event ever. The band is also releasing a new, live CD this weekend and everyone who attends the show gets a free copy of the CD. Tickets are only $19.99 and are available at TicketMaster.com.

After the concert on Saturday, 100 Monkeys are hosting a party at Sambuca to benefit the Spencer Bell Legacy Project. Spencer was a dear high school friend of the band who died of adrenal cancer in December of 2006. For more information about the Spencer Bell Legacy Project, visit www.SpencerBellMemorial.com.

I think it’s so wonderful that they did that for her!
