I will walk again.
I will sing again.
Let’s book the Meyerson Symphony Center for this comeback.

Despite all odds, Lauren Moore knew she would sing on stage again. While still fighting to recover from the paralysis and other damage caused by Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Lauren knew that her healing would come and that hope would lead the way. She told her husband, Dave, to book the Meyerson Symphony Center for her comeback performance before anyone knew if she’d ever sing again.

Having just finished leading the music for the 50,000 people attending the National Eucharistic Congress the summer before, Dave and Lauren Moore entered 2025 with great momentum until everything changed. The couple and their young daughter got the flu. What should have been a normal run of sickness led to Lauren’s body starting to go into paralysis. She couldn’t feel her legs and had trouble breathing. She needed serious medical help and was soon hospitalized.

For most of 2025, Lauren fought her way back to health, regaining the ability to walk and sing as she provided the love that only a mother can while relying on her heavenly Father for strength. The local and national community rallied around the Moore family by providing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual support.

Tomorrow night, Nov 4, 2025, Dave and Lauren Moore will sing songs of praise, hope, healing, and surrender for a completely packed house at the Meyerson in a concert for the ages called “The Moore We Are.”

Lauren’s unfailing hope serves as a reminder to us all when we face despair. Hope is the key ingredient to survival when we encounter difficult times in work, relationships, or health. As holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl said, “If we lose our hope, we lose everything. Hope is what gives us the strength to go on.”
