Luke Menard Update

Season 7 Top 24 contestant Luke Menard was recently diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. He’s updating his fans on his progress in his blog.

After I was eliminated from Idol I temporarily moved to Los Angeles and was working with a manager in the acting industry. Shortly after I began meeting with Agents I began auditiong for soap operas. Shortly after my meetings and auditions I found out the diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. It immediately changed my perspective on life and also changed what was most important to me. All of a sudden a life and career away from my family in LA didn’t sound so appealing. The last thing I wanted was to go through chemo treatment In LA away from my home.
I felt this was a clear sign from God that I should be closer to home and work with my other manager in Nashville, TN in the Christian music industry. To me, it was a clear sign that I needed to share my upcoming trials through Christian music.

    I wish him all good things. I did check out his blog post and he mentions living in Franklin, TN. I used to live around there; at least he’s in some beautiful country, away from all the smog. Nice people, too. I’ll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
