The Voice 2 alum, Chris Mann, is raising money and awareness for the national non-profit research organization the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund (CAF) through the release of his next single “Remember Me.”

The charity single was co-written with neuroscientist and Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Rudy Tanzi.

Today, Yahoo Music’s Reality Rocks premiered the video for “Remember Me,” directed by Chris’s wife, Laura Mann, and starring Chris’s Phantom of the Opera touring company co-star, ballerina Christina Dooling.

“I had the vision of a single dancer, aged with Alzheimer’s, who would dance the age away throughout the course of the song and reveal her younger self, fighting her way out by the end,” Chris told Yahoo Music. “I wanted her world, like her memory, to feel like a slate wiped clean: strange, unfamiliar, and blank. Visually, we mirror her emotional progression going from darkness and obscurity to clarity and illumination. As her age regresses, her awareness increases and we get to see her younger self crying out to the world, in a way that she no longer can.”

Chris has a personal family connection to Alzheimer’s and he’s asking his fans to use social media and share the song’s message.

“I’ve always loved being active and in touch with my fans online. Campaign #RememberMe asks my fans and anyone who’s been touched by this disease to post pictures of themselves holding #RememberMe signs with their loved ones’ names on them along with the link to the video and the song on iTunes,” he said. “We want to spread the word to help raise awareness and funding to find a cure. One in three people die with Alzheimer’s, so odds are you know someone who’s dealing with this terrible disease.”
