MISSION
The AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU STAYED FOUNDATION is committed to two equally meaningful goals. First, inspired by Rick’s life experience, the Foundation aims to create lasting difference for at-risk LGBT youth and those who struggle with PTSD.
Additionally, in memory of Rick’s friend Olivia Newton-John, we support the OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN CANCER WELLNESS & RESEARCH CENTRE and the OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN FOUNDATION FUND in their mission to realize a world beyond cancer by funding research into plant-based medicine and other holistic and wellness therapies to discover kinder ways to prevent, treat and cure all cancers.

“Aren’t You Glad You Stayed”
Lyrics and Music by
Jonathan Roy & Chris Anderson
No more light there’s darkness all around
I can’t keep up I’m buried six feet down
Nothing’s gonna change
Gonna be like this forever
But then I heard the words being sung
You can never surrender
And all I wanted to be was the man that I’m supposed to be
And now I’ve finally figured out
Just what’s expected of me
So aren’t you glad you stayed
Aren’t you glad you stayed
Only light no darkness anymore
Spread my wings and now I can soar
Everything has changed
Might be like this forever
And nothing is the same
Can’t you see
That I’ll never surrender
And all I wanted to be was the man that I’m supposed to be
And now I’ve finally figured out
Just what’s expected of me
So aren’t you glad you stayed
Aren’t you glad you stayed
Aren’t you glad you stayed
Aren’t you glad you stayed
And all I wanted to be was the man that I’m supposed to be
And now I’ve finally figured out
Just what’s expected of me
And all I wanted to be was the man that I’m supposed to be
And now I’ve finally figured out
Just what’s expected of me
So aren’t you glad you stayed
