867-5309 now a cancer information number

[Southernmiss]

Tommy Tutone's Tommy Heath is lending the number from his hit song "867-5309/Jenny" to a cancer helpline

Run by the global nonprofit Cancer Support Community, the free helpline offers guidance, resources and emotional support for people impacted by cancer

Heath tells PEOPLE exclusively that he was inspired by personal experiences to join the cause

The helpline, Warner notes, is free, and "staffed by trained professionals experienced in supporting individuals impacted by cancer. They are skilled in listening, resource navigation, and compassionate support. Many callers say the Helpline helped them feel heard, informed, and less alone. It often becomes a lifeline during one of the most difficult moments in someone’s life."

"I'd be happy if this was an enduring legacy, and made people smile and give them hope," says Heath, who is hitting the road with a summer tour. (And yes, he'll perform "867-5309/Jenny.") "I'm pretty proud to be part of it.

I absolutely LOVE this!


And now I can't stop singing the song.
