Thrilled to bike and perform for a cause, three-time RIAA Gold selling recording artist Jeremy Camp recently participated in the third annual Dierks Bentley "Miles & Music for Kids." The proceeds were raised for the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, TN.

The celebrity motorcycle ride and concert was held this past Sunday, October 5th. The participants biked from scenic Williamson County through downtown Nashville, ending at Riverfront Park with jam session, which featured event founder Dierks Bentley in addition to Camp, Tim McGraw and other country artists. In the two previous years, "Miles & Music for Kids" raised more than $250,000 for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.

With less than two months until the release of Speaking Louder Than Before, Jeremy Camp's new single "There Will Be A Day" is shooting up the radio charts on all formats. The single has been the most added at AC Monitored, CHR, and Inspo every week since its release. In the last two weeks, the single has picked up 26 new markets and has gained more than 1.2 million new audience impressions.

The song is also available on iTunes and debuted at No.1 on the overall Christian song chart and the only Christian song in the iTunes Top 100 on release week. The upcoming release was produced by Grammy-winning producer Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Third Day, Rich Mullins).

About Vanderbilt Children's Hospital:
Vanderbilt Children's Hospital is the most comprehensive Children's Hospital in the state, providing services from cancer treatments, organ and bone marrow transplants to broken legs and everything in between.

About the Speak Up, Speak Now, Speak Loud Campaign:
"It's an agenda without an agenda. The Speak Up comes from Paul saying, 'I didn't come to you with persuasive words, the Holy Spirit did the work.' It's not about what you can do on your own power. God just wants us to spend time with Him and have a willing heart. Speak Now comes from the urgency of the scary times we live in. Lastly, Speak Loud challenges us to hear loud this declaration from out across the nations where people are crying out. It's not about volume, it's about the substance behind what we're saying."
