Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D., country superstar Brad Paisley and legendary skater Scott Hamilton recently returned from a site visit to the LiveBeyond Base, Thomazeau currently under construction near Port-Au-Prince Haiti. LiveBeyond is a Nashville nonprofit with a mission to provide medical care, clean water, nutritional support, and development activities to impoverished communities.
It’s not every day that a former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Grammy-award winning artist, and Olympic gold medal skater can join forces to help others in need. Doctor-Senator Bill Frist, Brad Paisley, and Scott Hamilton visited the highly impoverished region of Thomazeau Haiti to assess the current activities and future needs. According to LiveBeyond CEO, Dr. David Vanderpool, “ it’s overwhelming to experience the expression of love and compassion for others shown by this diverse group. They share a common sense of urgency to relieve suffering in all its forms.”
LiveBeyond has been working in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake where construction is underway on the LiveBeyond Base, Thomazeau, a community development project to establish a surgical hospital, orphanage, school, demonstration farm and worship center. Brad Paisley recently partnered with LiveBeyond for the upcoming "Beat This Summer Tour presented by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®" where $1 from each ticket sale will support the work.

Since the 2010 Haiti earthquake, MMDR has worked extensively near Port-Au-Prince providing medical care, nutritional support, clean water, and micro-finance. Established as a 501(c)(3) humanitarian organization, MMDR has transitioned its work under a new name, LiveBeyond, to reflect a broadened mission as an organization that chooses to Live Beyond ourselves our culture, our borders, and this life so that others can Live Beyond disease, hunger, poverty, and oppression.
