Greg Fleckenstein and his wife Nancy created The Muskegon Music Ministry, and its mission of giving free custom made music CDs and cassettes to ARDS patients and their loved ones because of Greg's survival from ARDS in 1998. 

As an ARDS survivor, Greg is aware of how important his favorite music was to his survival and recovery. Just write to Greg at cgf2722@chartermi.net . Let him know what type of music you would like and be as specific AS YOU LIKE in terms of song titles and artists. Whether Christian Gospel, mellow instrumental, or favorites from the 40s to the present, Greg will put it on a CD or cassette and send it to you at zero charge (unless prohibited by copyright laws). If there are any difficulties providing the music selections you choose due to copyright or other legal matters, Greg will be in touch with you to obtain other or new selections. Their music library consists of thousands of songs and artists. The ministry also has many, many pre-made 90-minute CDs or tapes available for selection (e.g., singers, and types or categories of music) from which to choose. Greg provides an anthology of the selections on the CD or tape.

Important: Be sure to give him a postal address where to send the completed CD(s) or cassette(s).
