(KUTV) Music changes everything thats the idea behind a new, first of its kind, music therapy room opened today at Primary Childrens Medical Center.Named Sophies Place, the gift from the Forever Young Foundation honors Sophie Barton. Her siblings were there today to play with the young patients.Sophies mom, Anne Marie, shed tears of joy today exactly three years after her then-17-year-old daughter collapsed during a hike at girls camp.She would be amazed. She started as a volunteer here, in the hallway around the corner.Friends of Steve and Barb Young, Anne Marie says she was so humbled to hear they wanted to help Sophies legacy live on.I can only imagine for kids who are scared and suffering and really uptight about it and hurting, this place is a place of healing, says Barb Young.In addition to the Youngs, plenty of other celebrities were on hand to celebrate the opening. Dancing With the Stars, Derek Hough showed his support and rock bands Linkin Park and the Stone Temple Pilots gave a private concert for the kids.(Copyright 2013 Sinclair Broadcasting Group)
