Jelly Roll Is Eager To Join Jason Aldean For A Special Benefit Concert

The 13-year-old honored by President Donald Trump as a “Special Agent” with the Secret Service came up with a plan to help other children battling cancer.

DJ Daniel was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2018 and recognized by Trump earlier this year, and recently reached out to country music superstar Jason Aldean for his next venture.

The young boy created a video earlier this month, asking if anyone knew Aldean to help him put on a benefit concert.

Aldean later responded to Daniel, saying he would love to talk more about putting something together. Now, Daniel is catching the attention of more country stars, and Jelly Roll wants to join in on the fun.

“This is awesome- hey Aldean count me in,” Jelly responded in the comments on the video.

DJ Daniel’s Inspirational Journey With Childhood Cancer

Although DJ has undergone 13 brain surgeries, nothing has seemed to stop his strength and determination to make his dreams become a reality.

DJ and his father have visited more than 900 law enforcement agencies, and nearly all of them have named the boy an honorary officer.

“If you call us to come, we are gonna show up,” DJ’s father, Theodis Daniel, said. “We will do anything to try to motivate people and give them hope.”

Although they are unsure of how long the young boy has left on this earth, Theodis said they are doing everything they can to continue making an impact.

“We’re just going around showing people, ‘Hey, you do care for one another. Let’s give compassion and let’s try to join and help each other get through things,’” the father said.

Daniel’s Aspiration To Hold A Benefit Concert

Although the White House and Daniel’s family announced earlier this month that the boy has unfortunately been diagnosed with three new tumors, he is continuing to inspire the country through his goal of holding a benefit concert for other children.

Hey, does anybody know Jason Aldean? Because we’re trying to do a country show down here to raise money for kids with cancer,” Daniel said.

Now that Jelly is also willing to join, there’s no telling how many other artists will be interested.
