Shane is always on our minds, but today is just one of those days when he’s particularly prominent.
This week we will be announcing the date for our Third Annual Celebration of Life! We’ve been working hard on securing amazing prizes once again!

I wanted to share this video created by The Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute in collaboration with a young woman who lost her sibling to cancer.
We were so moved to watch this (you can see Shane’s bench in the video) and know that Shane’s tumors have helped in the research to establish a Phase I rhabdomyosarcoma clinical trial.

This is why Paul and I do what we do. We raise awareness and funding to help support institutions like cc-TDI so that they can make major breakthroughs in childhood cancer research. This is Shane’s legacy. Thank you to those of you that helped contribute to it!

On February 3, 2017, our family was wecomed back to speak at ASHS’s Mini-THON. It’s an event we look forward to every year.
Three years ago, we spoke with Baby Shane. It was when he took a turn for the worse, but the support and kindness shared by these students and community helped us get through it.
These students fundraise and create a bigger and more successful event each year with the help of their amazing teaching support staff.
Congratulations on raising over $46,285.17 to help support pediatric cancer through the Four Diamonds Foundation 🎉

Thank you for having for us! We were proud to be apart of it.
Chase and Ella had a blast and we are always humbled by the kindness of these exceptional students!

For every child lost. For every child still fighting. For every child in remission. For every child yet to be diagnosed.

No one fights alone!
