Crow has been involved with the [[Scleroderma Research Foundation]] (SRF) since the late 1990s, performing at fund-raisers and befriending [[Sharon Monsky]]. In 2002, as a result of her friend Kent Sexton dying from [[scleroderma]], she interrupted work on her new album ''[[C'mon, C'mon (album)|C'mon, C'mon]]'' to record the traditional hymn "Be Still, My Soul", to be played at his funeral. In November of that year it was released as a single, with the proceeds going to SRF.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.mywebpal.com/partners/885/public/news400778.html |title=Be Still My Soul |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021224180001/http://news.mywebpal.com/partners/885/public/news400778.html |archive-date=December 24, 2002 |access-date=June 9, 2014}}</ref>
