LeGrand co-wrote the song and also sings on the track, which is about having the strength to overcome adversity. He suffered a spinal cord injury making a tackle during a game in 2010 that left him paralyzed below the shoulders.

The song will be made available this week through pre-orders, then via broader release to all digital distributors March 19.

A launch party is scheduled for April 23, with proceeds going to Team LeGrand of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
