Brennan Simkins was 6 when doctors diagnosed him with acute myeloid leukemia in 2009. He received a total of four bone marrow transplants, but the disease continued to wreak havoc on his immune system. Turner Simkins, his father, turned to music during this difficult time, penning a song titled "Possibilities." He pitched it to Darius Rucker, who jumped at the opportunity to record it for all the people involved at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Taste of Country notes. "We had gotten ourselves into the mindset of 'Here we go again,'" Turner told the "Augusta Chronicle" about how the family felt after the fourth transplant. A friend advised Turner to write a song to take his mind off the situation. The family never gave up hope, and Brennan continued to fight. In 2011, his leukemia went into remission and he has been doing well ever since.
