Thank you for your patience as we tallied up the funds raised from the tailgate.
It was a perfect day.
The tailgate, the people, and an epic concert. These were our first shows since losing Shane. It was way more emotional then either of us expected.
While “Ten” songs are played in most shows, it’s an entirely different energy created when it happens as a complete album.
A reflection on life…the past, present (tense) and future.
A special thank you to the Phan Cave! We are so fortunate to have met you. Your events are amazing and we are thrilled with the results. Thank you to our generous food and beer donors: Victory Brewing Company , The Capital Grille Philadelphia, Chase’s Hop Shop, Pastificio Homemade Pasta Co., Rieker’s Prime Meats, and Giant Food Stores. Thank you also to the Holiday Inn Philadelphia Stadium for allowing us to host our event on site.
We had 65 people in attendance and were able to raise $1,000.00. These funds will be donated to rare pediatric cancer research in memory of Shane. Thank you for all your support!
We truly felt our 😇.
Most days, my grief is apart of me. I carry it with me deep inside and may not always react to it. Then, there are days like Mother’s Day, where I can’t control those emotions. My mind will take a dip into that pool of grief.
I think about the handprint projects that will never be, the pictures of Shane as he grows older and most of all, the hugs I will never receive. What pulls me out of that dip are my two older children, Chase and Ella.
I am so incredibly thankful to be their mom. They have been through so much in their lifetime and I am proud to see that they have continued on with smiles, laughter and most of all their memories of Shane. They speak of him daily, talk about seeing signs from him and our favorite is when we talk about “what would Shane say about that?”
As a mother, I’ve had to teach my children how to cope with their own grief of losing their brother. This is not something I ever thought I would have to do. Loss is difficult to grasp and for me growing up, it was something we didn’t talk about.
To me, the most important thing I can teach them about this experience is that while their loss is tragic, they need to continue on in their lives and be happy. Paul and I have explained to them, that bad things happen to good people, but it doesn’t have to define you. They can not be bitter, but thankful for all the time they had with Shane. The time we had with him was a blessing.
When they (or us) are going through a difficult period, we always remind them (and ourselves) that Shane went through so much in his short life and he did so with a smile. He spread positivity and happiness to everyone around him. We have to do the same. It’s what Shane would have wanted.

In 2015, SFD’s COL raised $9,728.30 and had 185 adults, 75 kids and many more children under the age of 3 in attendance. Shane’s Future Days matched the proceeds raised. In August, we attended a pediatric cancer nano course in Colorado. There, we donated $20,000 to The Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute where we donated Shane’s tumors. The money assisted in purchasing laboratory equipment and funding pre-clinical pediatric drug trials We also were able to donate $2,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Pediatric Advanced Care Team. This team supports families whose child is terminally ill and goes into hospice care. In addition, during the holidays we were able to support two families and purchase their holiday gifts, as well as decorations.
