Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder has contributed a new solo track entitled "Skipping" to Every Mother Counts 2012, a benefit for the maternal health advocacy campaign of the same name.
"Eddie was amazing to accept this project while in the midst of so much," says Every Mother Counts founder Christy Turlington Burns.
"I spoke to him and exchanged several emails about his contribution. 'Skipping' is such a sweet song and I just love that his daughter Olivia has a little cameo at the start. He once wrote me saying that his girls would be proud one day that their dad contributed to such a meaningful project."
Every Mother Counts 2012, which will be available at Starbucks between May 1 and May 8, also features songs from Bono and The Edge, Beck, Coldplay, Alanis Morissette and Dave Matthews Band.
