Today, Shane would be TEN years old. Sadly, he only celebrated one birthday with us.
So, we ask you to join us in a heartfelt Fundraiser as we commemorate the 10th birthday of a remarkable child, whose courageous battle with cancer has left an indelible mark on our hearts.
While this occasion is bittersweet, it provides an opportunity to remember, honor, and continue the legacy of a child who touched countless lives. Together, let us rally behind the cause, ensuring that no child and family endure the pain of childhood cancer alone.
The story of Shane is one of unwavering strength, resilience, and the power of love. Despite facing tremendous adversity, he exhibited bravery beyond his tender years. Shane taught us the importance of cherishing every moment, finding joy in the face of hardship, and supporting one another during life’s most challenging times. As we gather to celebrate their 10th birthday, we reflect upon the impact Shane made and the lessons he bestowed upon us

On July 2, 2022, Chase and Ella held their 6th annual LemonAID stand in Ventnor, NJ at the Ocean Breeze Art Center. This lemonAID stand started in 2015 after Shane passed. Chase wanted to do something to give back and in memory of Shane. Ella was a bit younger then, but she was the lead salesperson. It only took a year later for her name to be added to the stand.
We are so thankful to Susan Van Duyne for the opportunity each year.
The kids have donated the money raised from their stand to various organizations over the years. This year, they chose the Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute (www.cc-TDI.org). Chase and Ella know where the money is going and how it will be used, which means the most to them.
