In 2010, our family was changed forever. At the age of 3, our son Shane was diagnosed with brain and spinal cord cancer. Nothing in life prepares you to hear the words, "your child has cancer." Shane has fought the disease with courage and strength. Due to the many life saving treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, and three brain surgeries), Shane has several physical and mental challenges that he will face the rest of his life. We understand the challenges that many families have to overcome when you have a child with cancer. Costs for medicine, equipment, and care can be extensive. It was with this in mind, we have decided to create Shanerock (501c3 non-profit organization). Shanerock will be a charity that focuses on providing care, resources, and equipment to local families who are battling pediatric cancer. Shanerock will also fund the efforts of other nonprofit organizations that support families and their fight against pediatric cancer.
