As part of TODAY's "Shine a Light" campaign, Hoda Kotb brought together two superstars to create one special song. Music icons Sara Bareilles and Cyndi Lauper teamed up to produce a masterful mash-up song titled "Truly Brave" to raise awareness for pediatric cancer. The song and music video, which was shot at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, will debut tomorrow, September 25 on NBC's TODAY. Get a behind-the-scenes sneak peek below!

"Truly Brave" combines two of Kotb's favorite songs - Lauper's mega-hit "True Colors" and Bareilles' chart-topper "Brave." The mash-up benefits the American Cancer Society, specifically pediatric cancer research.
