Shane's shaving to support families facing childhood cancer
Fundraiser Message for Redkite
Over the past 2 years, my family has been navigating a journey we never imagined—my son’s diagnosis and treatment for childhood leukemia. From the moment we heard the words “your child has cancer,” our world changed completely.
During this time, I grew my beard as a symbol of the fight our little warrior has been facing through every round of chemotherapy. Now that he’s reaching the end of his treatment, it’s time for the beard to go so I’m shaving it off to raise funds for Redkite.
Why Redkite?
Redkite has been with us from day one, supporting not just my son, but our
entire family. They understand that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, life
is turned upside down. They provide the essentials you don’t think about in the
chaos—practical help, emotional support, financial assistance when things get
tough, and guidance through every stage of treatment.
Their support has made an immeasurable difference to us, and now I want to give back so they can continue doing the same for other families facing the unthinkable.
How you can help
If you’re able, please donate to my fundraiser. Every contribution—big or small—helps Redkite continue their vital work for families like mine.
Thank you for your generosity, your kindness, and for standing with us on this journey. ❤️
