Banana Ball was awesome. What’s even better was seeing these awesome guys proudly wearing their Jack McGovern Coats' Disease Foundation bracelets!

Last night, Kip shared his dream of becoming a pilot.

He's been researching schools, studying hard, and hopes to attend MTSU Department of Aerospace.

The dream changes sometimes.
Some days he wants to be an architect. Other days, an HVAC specialist. Last night, it was a pilot.

But one thing never changes, he's always an overcomer.

And my goal remains the same, raise the money needed to fund research for a cure before it's too late.

I smiled while he talked.
And behind closed doors, I cried.

Because Coats' disease doesn't care about his dreams. Every day without better treatments and research is another day closer to vision loss for kids like him.

So this morning, we made a battle plan. He'll keep chasing his future. And I'll keep fighting to protect it.

They both played Nots for Coats’ in 2023!♥️

Ella Langley sat on a plane flying back to Nashville, tears rolling down her face, and wrote a tribute to the woman who had been by her side since before any of this was real.

"If you love my music, you also love Joybeth. I wouldn't be the same without my sister in song and my favorite writing buddy."
They met in Nashville when neither one of them had anything going on. Their first write happened on Ella's back porch, smoking Marlboro Reds and talking about a dream so big it almost felt embarrassing to say out loud. They wanted to write a song with Miranda Lambert someday.

Years later, they were in a Nashville writing room with Miranda, putting "Choosin' Texas" on paper. When the session was over, Miranda drove them to a gas station to buy Marlboro Reds.
Full circle, with smoke in the air.

Joybeth Taylor writes nearly 300 songs a year. MusicRow called the two of them "individually two of the best songwriters this town's got. Their magic is only magnified when they're together."
Every single dream they whispered on that back porch has come true.

This is what real friendship in country music looks like
