Thankful !!!

A poem to Shania on Thanks giving day:

We are thankful to have a buddy old pal,
her name is Shania and we miss our pal more
than we ever could have foretold.

She is the sunshine on the darkest of days.

Always smiling with those dimples in her cute little ways.

She was a true friend , with a kind heart that
you could always depend.

Shania could make you laugh that was her way,
humour was always her most beautiful forte.

So on this day of thanksgiving we would like
to declare, how much we love you Shania for this
we do swear.

We will be forever thankful to have had you
as our true buddy old pal.

Shania's Sunflower of Hope Fund :)

It's been a busy summer and we have so many great things to update on, but the biggy is that Shania's Sunflower of Hope is now officially a fund for Sickkids Foundation. I know Shania would have been very excited about this great news. All she wanted to do was help other children who are suffering with this dreadful disease. The money that is raised will still be fast tracked through The James Fund for Neuroblastoma research at Sickkids labs. We are so grateful to a special little boy named James Birrell who also had this horrible disease and the Birrell family for setting up the Neuroblastoma research fund seven years ago, his spirit lives on by helping so many children and there families. James wanted to find a cure just like our Shania did and they still are because of people like you. Together in numbers we are strong and can help move the mountain that blocks better treatments and ultimately a cure for these children. So many people say that what they are doing is only a small thing, but all these small things add up to something huge. I'll update more tomorrow but right now I have to put Shan to bed and read her some bed time stories. Shan says that she wants me to write that she loves Shania's Sunflower of Hope Fun Fair.

With love that is true
Shayne, Karen & Shannon
